[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Every time me and my baby we go uptown
Police come and they knock me down
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
Yeah baby, come here quick
This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
[Verse 2]
Yonder come my baby, dressed in red
She's got a shot-gun, says she's gonna kill me dead
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
[Verse 3]
Early one morning, half past four
Cocaine knocking at my door
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
[Verse 4]
You take Mary, I'll take Sue
Ain't no difference betwixt the two
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
Yeah baby, come here quick
This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick
Cocaine...
[Verse 5]
Started down Beale Street and I'm turnin' up Main
Lookin' for a gal who sells cocaine
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
[Verse 6]
Well, I reached into my pocket, grabbed my poke
Note in my pocket says no more coke
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
Mm hmm mm hmmm
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
[Verse 7]
Cocaine's for horses, not for men
They tell me it'll kill me but they don't say when
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
Yeah baby, come here quick
This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick
Cocaine run all 'round my brain
[Outro]
