Cocaine Carolina
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Morning found me lyin' on a floor in New Orleans
Looking like the Apache was about to eat my jeans
Feeling like my belly was a warehouse for the blues
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina
Better on an oceanliner call the Cocaine Carolina
She was quite a lady then and I was twenty two
God knows how much I adored her I just never could afford her
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina you and I are through
I'm going back to Sandy Scuggs she knows just what to do
She don't love me for my money she just wants my body honey
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you
Oh someone said if I was lucky I could go back to Kentucky
Lexington was famous for its bluegrass and its hills
Carolina we should get up don't you know we'll have to sped up
Baby I should go to California
Goodbye Cocaine Carolina
Oh goodbye, Cocaine Carolina
Oh goodbye, Cocaine Carolina
