Walked up Ellum and I come down Main Tryin' to bum a nickle, just to buy cocaine Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. cho: Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me And everybody, take a whiff on me. Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. Went to Mr. Lehman's on a lope Sign in the window said: "No more coke". Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. cho Goin' up State Street, commin' down Main Lookin' for the woman that uses cocaine. Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. cho I'se got a nickle, you'se got a dime... You buy the coke and I'll buy the wine. Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. cho The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice Takes a brown-skin woman, for my particular use. Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. cho I chew my tobacco, and I spit my juice I love my baby 'till it aint no use Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. cho Cocaine's for horses and not for men Doctors say t'will kill you but they don't say when. Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. cho Whiff-a-ree and whiff-a-rye Gonna keep on a whiffin', boys, 'till I die. Ho, ho, ho...honey take a whiff on me. |

i know of a "furniture man" by lil mclintlock(sp?) and "furniture man blues" by lonnie johnson and victoria spivey. i've worked out a chord structure for "cocaine habit blues". it's my new favorite song |
Just no spirit... The season drained me, and lack of sex is causing my mind to have 4-5 minute delusions. |
|
That Should do for me right about now. |
Captain Jack? |
"she brings me meat, honey, she brings me lard, she brings me everything that she can steal..." "he backed his truck up to my house, took everything I own, well if there ever was a devil without any horns, it must've been the furniture man, I hear you mama, amen, ain't gonna leave you little mama til the weather gets cool... round your backdoor, honey I'm gonna creep, just as long as you bring me 2 1/2 a week" "run, doctor, ring the bell, there's women in the alley... i'm just wild about my good cocaine" is about all I can remember |
Take this quote to heart, by James Joyce: Ah, Masturbation! The amazing availability of it! |
whatever version of the cocaine song bromberg is doing, i'm sure it's gleaned from several sources. that's how it usually works with old songs that already have hundreds of different versions. that's how i do it - pick your favorite lines and favorite style and toss it all together. |
