Here are the words Dr. John gives in the book, /Under a Hoodoo Moon/:

Down the road come junko partner
Lord he was loaded as can be
Lord he was knocked down, knocked down loaded
You know he wobbled all over the street.

Singing six months ain't no sentence
Lord and one year ain't no time
They got boys on the Ponderosa
Serving nine to ninety-nine

If I had one million dollars
Just one million to call my own
I'd buy all the land round the parish prison
And I'd grow me a big mootie (marijuana) farm

Once I had plenty of money
I had good friends all over town
Now I burnt up my last money
Even my jonky partners have put me down

I got a woman in the parish
And another in the house of D
And another in St. Gabriel's
Doin' a li'l time for me

Give me whiskey
When I get a little frisky
It's a mighty good drink
When you get a little dry
Give me reefer
When I get a little sickly
But give me a little heaven (heroin)

Down the road come junko partner
Lord he was loaded as can be
Lord he was knocked down, knocked down loaded
And he sang this dope-fiend song to me.
Before I die.
