Cocaine Blues

Walking down Beale Street
Headed for Main
Tryin' to find
Cocaine
Cocaine
All around my brain

Going uptown
Won't be back
Baby's got something
I sure do black
Cocaine
All around my brain

Come here, baby
Come here quick
This old cocaine
Has got me sick
Cocaine
All around my brain

Cocaine's for horses
Not for men
Doctor said it'd kill me
But it didn't say when
Cocaine
All around my brain

Not so long ago
You could buy it
At the corner drugstore
Cocaine
All around my brain

Got home last night
'Bout half past ten
Tried to turn the key
But I couldn't get in
Cocaine
All around my brain

Found myself
By the side
Of the road
Spent all the money I had
For room and board
Cocaine
All around my brain

I'm tellin' everybody
Don't be like me
Drink that good
Corn liquor
Let that cocaine be
Cocaine
All around my brain
