Verse: G D G Way down along Sycamore Slough C G A white man sings the blues G D G Selling roses of papier mache C D With flecks of starlight dew Em D I swiped a bunch and I threw it your way C Bm Where hazy moonlight glowed Chorus: C G A7 C G Way down, down along lazy river road Verse: G D G Way down along Shadowfall Ward C G End of the avenue G D G Run hide seek in your own backyard C D Mamaʼs backyard wonʼt do Em D All night long I sang loveʼs sweet song C Bm Down where the water flowed Chorus. Bridge: Am D Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay Em B Em Never quite catch the tune Am D Stars fall down in buckets like rain Em B Em Till there ainʼt no standing room Am B Bright blue boxcars, train by train Am B Rattle while dreams unfold C G A7 C G Way down, down along lazy river road Verse: G D G Way down along Seminole Square C G Belly of the river tide G D G Call for me and I will be there C D For the price of a taxi ride Em D Night time double clutches into today C Bm Like a truck downshifting its load Chorus. Verse: G D G Thread the needle right through the eye C G The thread that runs so true G D G All the others I let pass by C D I only wanted you Em D I never cared much for careless love C Bm But, oh, how your bright eyes glowed Chorus.
