Verse 1
G D GWay down along Sycamore Slough
A white man sings the blues

C DWith flecks of starlight dew
I swiped a bunch and I threw it your way
C BmWhere hazy moonlight glowed
ChorusC G A7/G C/G GWay down, down along lazy river road
Verse 2
G D GWay down along Shadowfall Ward
C GEnd of the avenue
Run hide seek in your own backyard
C DMama's backyard won't do
Em DAll night long I sang love's sweet song
Down where the water flowed
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay
Em B EmNever quite catch the tune
Am DStars fall down in buckets like rain
Till there ain't no standing room
Am BBright blue boxcars, train by train
Am BRattle while dreams unfold
Way down, down along lazy river road
Verse 3
G D GWay down along Seminole Square
Belly of the river tide
G D GCall for me and I will be there
C DFor the price of a taxi ride
Night time double clutches into today
C BmLike a truck downshifting its load
Repeat Chorus/Solo/Repeat Bridge
Verse 4
G D GThread the needle right through the eye
C GThe thread that runs so true
All the others I let pass by
C DI only wanted you
Em DI never cared much for careless love
But, oh, how your bright eyes glowed
