Cocaine Blues

Every time me and my baby, we go uptown

Police come and they knock me down

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Yeah, baby, come here quick

This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Yonder come my baby, dressed in red

She's got a shotgun, says she's gonna kill me dead

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Early one morning, half past four

Cocaine knocking at my door

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

You take Mary, I'll take Sue

Ain't no difference betwixt the two

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Yeah, baby, come here quick

This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine

Started down Beale Street and I'm turnin' up Main

Lookin' for a gal who sells cocaine

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

While I reach into my pocket, grab my poke

Note in my pocket says no more coke

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Mm-hm, mm-hm

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Cocaine's for horses, not for men

They tell me it'll kill me, but they don't say when

Cocaine run all 'round my brain

Yeah, baby, come here quick

This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine run all 'round my brain
