Moonlight over the alley

Baby where I come from

There's a poison girl, a poison girl

Sister do medicine business

Three dollar down for the gun

She's a poison girl, poison girl

I be waiting uptown

While she gone underground for a ride

I be waiting uptown

While she passes some trick on the side

Well I'm sitting here burning my money

Worth nothing if only to score

With some poison girl, poison girl

There's a place an' I know

Anybody can go for a price

There's a place an' I know

You be putting your soul up on ice

Well now mama sad son what's your hurry?

Mama don't know what I done

For the poison girl, poison girl
