Lazy River Road Lyrics - Grateful Dead

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
