"Old Yazoo" lyrics

Cab Calloway And His Orchestra Lyrics

"Old Yazoo"

Take me back to old Yazoo (Yeah!)
Everything up here is new (Yeah!)
I can't stand it, you just must land it
The choo-choo back to old Yazoo (Oh!)

Almost everything ya do (Why?)
People got their eyes on you (No!)
It's compelling, you hear me yellin'
I'm going back to old Yazoo (Yeah man!)

If you don't like beans and rice
Get your rice and beans
If you don't like greens and ham
Just get your ham and greens

How long will I have to wait
Standing at that station gate
My mind's made up, thing's are jammed up
I'm going back to ole Yazoo
