Cocain - John Martyn

Did you hear a story about Cocaine Lil?

She had a cocaine house on cocaine hill

She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat

She even had a cocaine rat

And it’s all round my brain

Been walking round 10th Street and Main

I’ve been looking for a girlie to give me cocaine

Cocaine’s sure running round my brain

Been strolling round 10th Street and Main

Been looking for someone to give me cocaine

Cocaine’s sure running round my brain

Well, Cocaine Lil and Morphine Sue

They’ve been strolling down the avenue two by two

Says Lil to Sue, ''It's gonna do no harm

If we both have a little old shot in the arm''

And it’s all round my veins, oh cocaine

Doctor tell me again and again

He say, ''Cocaine's forces ain’t for men''

Cocaine’s sure running round my brain

You know the doctor tell me, tell me again and again

He say, ''Cocaine'll kill you son, it won’t say when''

Cocaine’s sure running round my brain

Yonder’s baby, she’s dressed in white

I said, ''Hey now mama, gonna stay all night''

Cocaine’s sure running round my brain

Now there runs my baby, she’s all dressed in black

You said you know I didn’t mean it, won’t you please come back

Cocaine’s sure running round my brain

Hey baby, please come quick

This old cocaine’s making me sick

Cocaine’s sure running round my brain
