Lyrics of 'Cocain' by John Martyn

Did you hear a story about Cocain Lill?
She had a cocain house on cocain hill
She had a cocain dog and a cocain cat
She even had a cocain rat
And it’s all round my brain

Been walking around 10th street and Main
I’ve been looking for a girlie to give me cocain
Cocain sure running round my brain
Been strolling round 10th street and Main
Been looking for someone to give me cocain
Cocain, sure running round my brain

Well, Cocain Lill and Morphine Sue
They’ve been strolling down the avenue, two by two
Says Lill to Sue, It’s gonna do no harm
If we both have a little old shot in the arm
And it’s all round my veins, oh cocain

Doctor tell me again and again
He says, cocain’s forces ain’t for men
Cocain sure running round my brain
You know the doctor tells me, tells me again and again
He says, cocain will kill you son, it won’t say when
Cocain sure running round my brain

There’s this story about Cocain Lill
She had a cocain house on cocain hill
She had a cocain dog and a cocain cat
She even had a cocain rat
And it’s all round my brain

Yonder’s baby, she’s dressed in white
I said: Hey now mama, gonna stay all night
Cocain’s sure running round my brain
Now there runs my baby, she’s all dressed in black
You said you know I didn’t mean it
Won’t you please come back?
Cocain’s sure running round my brain

Hey baby, please come quick
This old cocain’s making me sick
Cocain sure running round my brain
