Lazy River Road Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Way down upon the sycamore stoop
A white man sings the blues
Selling roses of paper maché
Reflects of starlight dew
I swiped a bunch and threw your way
Where the hazy moonlight glows
Way down, down along Lazy River Road

Way down upon the shadow four 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 song
Down whеre the water flows
Way down, down along Lazy Rivеr Road


Moonlight wails as hound dogs bay
But never quite catch the tune
Stars fall down in buckets like rain
'Til there ain't no standing 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
Night time double-clutches into the day
Like a truck downshifting snow
Way down, down along Lazy River Road

Moonlight wails as hound dogs bay
But never quite catch the tune
Stars fall down in buckets like rain
′Til there ain′t no standing 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
Of the thread that runs so true
All the others I let pass by
I only wanted you
I never cared much for careless love
Oh, how your bright eyes glowed
Way down, down along Lazy River Road

Way down, down along Lazy River Road
Way down, down along Lazy River Road
