Cocaine Blues (Roadsongs Version)

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Cocaine, cocaine
'Round my heart, runnin' 'round my brain
Cocaine, ah you ole cocaine

[Verse 2]
Oh come here, mama and come here quick
That ole coke's got me and I'm feelin' sick
Cocaine, ah you ole cocaine

[Acoustic Guitar and Fiddle Solos]

[Verse 3]
Jump out of bed, baby, run downtown
Take along the money and look all around
Find a man, the man that sells cocaine

[Verse 4]
Cocaine, cocaine
'Round my heart and runnin' 'round my brain
(One time)

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 5]
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

[Acoustic Guitar and Fiddle Solos]

[Verse 6]
Cocaine, cocaine
'Round my heart and runnin' 'round my brain
Cocaine, ah, you ole cocaine
