Lyrics

Take me back to old Yazoo
Everything up here is new
I can't stand it, just must landed
Going back to Old Yazoo
Everything you do
People got their eyes on you
It's compelling, y'have me yelling
Going back to Old Yazoo
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 you wait?
Standing at the station gate
Broken hearted, gotta get started
Going back to Old Yazoo
Oh, take me back to Old Yazoo
Everything up here is new
I can't stand it, just must landed
Going back to Old Yazoo
Everything you do
People got their eyes on you
It's compelling, y'have me yelling
"Take me back to Old Yazoo"
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
Lordy, lordy
How long will I have to wait
Standing at the station gate
I'm broken hearted
Gotta get started
Going back to old Yazoo
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
I am going to Yazoo, that's where I belong
Everything I tell you seems to be all wrong
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Going back to old Yazoo
(Going back to old Yazoo)
