I hear a boy say I'm going uptown
I'm gonna hurry back
He said, my baby's got something
I sure do lack What is it?
He said, cocaine
Gettin' all around my brain
Said, see that woman yonder coming
Dressed in black?
What's the matter?
I believe to my soul
She's gonna take me back
Cocaine, all around my brain
Here's somebody draggin',
Can't hardly make it
Said, you oughtta been dead
Long time ago
Snuffin' cocaine up the head
Cocaine, all around my brain
Here come a man with a pretty girl
Talk about your good gal
You oughtta see mine
She ain't so pretty
But she do dress fine
Cocaine
Here's a fellow done got too much of it,
You understand, about to kill him
He said, run here baby,
Please, ma'am, run here quick
This cocaine is just about to make me sick
Cocaine
That's one of them old-time playing, you see?
One of these mornings, it won't be long
You're gonna wake up and call for me
And I'll be gone
Wants to get something, now
Cocaine
It done got all around my brain
Here come a high, tall person
All you people ought to be like me
Drink that good corn whiskey
Let the cocaine be
Cocaine
That fellow got some sense, he wants something to do him good, not to kill him, you understand?
