Cocaine Blues Lyrics

I'm going gal : don't you take me for no fool
I'm not going to quit you pretty mama : whilst the
weather's cool

Around your back door : says honey I'm going to creep
As long as : you make your two and a half a week

Now I got a girl : she works in the white folk's yard
She brings me meat : I can swear she brings me lard

Now Barnum Bailey Circus : came to town
They had a *stepper* : looking good and brown

They didn't know : it was against the law
But the monkey stopped : at a ??? drugstore

Stepped around the corner : just a minute too late Another one sitting there : *to kick back eight*

Say come on sister : with her nose all *spoiled*
The doctor's gone : going to sell no more

Now there's twenty‑two men came to my house : it was
last Sunday morn
They asked me was my wife at home : and I told she has
long been gone

He backed his wagon up to my door : took everything I
had
He carried it back to the furniture store : and I swear
that I did feel sad

Saying coke's for horses : not women or men
The doctors say it'll kill you : but they didn't say
when
