Pene Azul Lyr Req: songs by howlin' wolf and muddy waters (10) Lyr Add: CHAMPAGNE AND REEFER (Muddy Waters) 06 Mar 02


There are a couple of versions on the 'net, but here they are, close as I can get, from Muddy's recording.

Jeff

Champagne and Reefer
(Muddy Waters)

Yeah bring me champagne when I'm thirsty
Bring me reefer when I want to get high
Yeah bring me champagne when I'm thirsty
Bring me reefer when I want to get high

Yeah bring me champagne when I'm thirsty
Bring me reefer when I want to get high
Well you know when I'm lonely
Bring my woman set her right down here by my side

Well you know there should be no law
on people that want to smoke a little dope
Well you know there should be no law
on people that want to smoke a little dope
Well you know it good for your head
And it relax your body don't you know

Every time I get high
I lay my head down in my baby's breast
Well you know I lay down be quiet
Tryin' to take my rest
Well you know she done hug and kiss me
Said Muddy you one man that I love the best

Well I'm gonna get high
I'm gonna get high just as be sure of my name
Well ya' know I'm gonna get so high this mornin'
It's going to be a cryin' shame
Well you know I'm gonna stick with my reefer
I ain't gonna be messin' round with no cocaine
