Codine

Buffy Sainte-Marie

And my belly is craving
I got a shakin' in my head
Feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I was dead

If I lived till tomorrow that'll be a long time
But I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on cod'ine
And it's real, and it's real, one more time

Well, when I was a young girl I learned not to care
About whiskey and from it I often did swear

My mother and father said whiskey is a curse
But the fate of their baby is a many times worse
And it's real, and it's real, one more time

Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
Stay away from the men pushin' the cod'ine around

Stay away from the stores where the remedy is fine
For better your pain than be caught on cod'ine
And it's real, and it's real, one more time

You'll forget you're a woman, you'll forget about men
Try it just once, and you'll try it again

You'll forget about life, you'll forget about time
And you'll live off your days as a slave to cod'ine
And it's real, and it's real, one more time

But if I die tomorrow, still one thing I've done
I'd heeded the warning that I got when I was young

My one satisfaction it comes when I think
That I'm living my life without bendin' to drink
And it's real, and it's real, one more time

And my belly is craving, I got a shaking in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I was dead

If I live till tomorrow that'll be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll die on cod'ine
And it's real, and it's real, one more time
