Cocaine Blues

We'll play an old folk song from New Orleans called 'Cocaine Blues'. This came from... I learned this off a Hoyt Axton record and he said that it came from First World War when they were treatin' him about the cocaine. And then they let him go in New Orleans... So it was like half cocaine freaks instead of two thirds, like it is now...

That's a real song

Cocaine, cocaine

'Round my heart, runnin' 'round my brain

Cocaine, ah you ole cocaine

Oh come here, mama and come here quick

That ole coke's got me and I'm feelin' sick

Cocaine, ah you ole cocaine

Jump out of bed, baby, run downtown

Take along the money and look all around

Find a man, the man that sells cocaine

Cocaine, cocaine

'Round my heart and runnin' 'round my brain

(One time)

Coke's for horses, Lord, it ain't for men

They say it kills you but they don't say when

Cocaine, ah you ole cocaine

Cocaine, cocaine

'Round my heart and runnin' 'round my brain

Cocaine, ah, you ole cocaine
