New Cocaine Blues

Hans Theessink

(traditional, theme by reverend Gary Davis, extra words by Jackson Browne, verses 3 and 4 by Gerry Lockran)

You take Sally and I take Sue
Ain't no difference between the two
Cocaine, all around my brain
Sittin' by the railroad line
Waitin' for that chick o' mine
Cocaine, all around my brain
Holed up in Mobile, bust in Maine
Waitin' for that midnight train
Cocaine, all around my brain
Holy mother, what you gotta say
That stuff got me away
Cocaine, all around my brain
Hey, hey, hey, hey, brother, what you gonna do
That cocaine got me through
Cocaine, all around my brain
There's nothing that I wanna do
But that snow's gonna fly on through
Cocaine, all around my brain
Shoot up my line, can't you get it soon
Sugar daddy's gonna take you too
Cocaine, all around my brain
Holy brother, what you gotta say
That stuff got me away
Cocaine, all around my brain
Hey, hey, hey, hey, mama, mama come on quick
My cocaine's got me sick
Cocaine, all around my brain
Hey brother what you gonna do
For that stuff's gonna get me through
Cocaine, all around my brain
Cocaine, all around my brain
