Verse 1
Way down along Sycamore Slough
A white man sings the blues
Selling roses of papier mache
With flecks of starlight dew
I swiped a bunch and I threw it your way
Where hazy moonlight glowed
Chorus
Way down, down along lazy river road
Verse 2
Way down along Shadowfall Ward
End of the avenue
Run hide seek in your own backyard
Mama's backyard won't do
All night long I sang love's sweet song
Down where the water flowed
Chorus
Way down, down along lazy river road
Bridge
Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay
Never quite catch the tune
Stars fall down in buckets like rain
Till there ain't no standing room
Bright blue boxcars, train by train
Rattle while dreams unfold
Chorus
Way down, down along lazy river road
Verse 3
Way down along Seminole Square
Belly of the river tide
Call for me and I will be there
For the price of a taxi ride
Night time double clutches into today
Like a truck downshifting its load
Chorus
Way down, down along lazy river road
Instrumental

Bridge
Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay
Never quite catch the tune
Stars fall down in buckets like rain
Till there ain't no standing room
Bright blue boxcars, train by train
Rattle while dreams unfold
Chorus
Way down, down along lazy river road
Verse 4
Thread the needle right through the eye
The thread that runs so true
All the others I let pass by
I only wanted you
I never cared much for careless love
But, oh, how your bright eyes glowed
Chorus
Way down, down along lazy river road
Way down, down along lazy river road
Way down, down along lazy river road
