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
Everything up here is new (Yeah!)

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
