Way down upon Sycamore Slough   White man sings the blues   Selling roses of paper mache   And flecks of starlight dew      Swiped a bunch and threw them your way   Where hazy moonlight glows   Way down, down along lazy river road      Way down upon Shadowfall Ward   End of the avenue   Run, hide, seek in your own backyard   Mama's backyard won't do      All night long I sing love's sweet songs   Down where the water flows   Way down, down along lazy river road      Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay   Never quite catch the tune   Stars fall down in buckets like rain   There ain't no standin' room      Bright blue boxcars train by train   Clatter while dreams unfold   Way down, down along lazy river road      Way down upon Seminole Square   Belly of the river tide   Call for me and I will be there   For the price of a taxi ride      Nighttime double clutches into the day   Like a truck down shifting it's load   Way down, down along lazy river road      Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay   Never quite catch the tune   Stars fall down in buckets like rain   There ain't no standin' room      Bright blue boxcars train by train   Clatter while dreams unfold   Way down, down along lazy river road      Thread the needle right through the eye   The thread that runs so true   All the others I let pass by   I only wanted you      Never cared much for careless love   Oh, how your bright eyes glow   Way down, down along lazy river road   Way down, down along lazy river road   Way down, down along lazy river road
