Subject: Lyr Add: MY MORPHINE (David Rawlings,Gillian Welch
Great song by an outstanding artist

I've looked around
Been all up and down
I never wasted time
On two or three
There's only one girl for me
There was a time
She used to treat me fine
But lately she's been acting
Awful stone
Makes her man
Weep and moan

Chorus:
I-dee-oh-lay-e-tee
Idle-liddle-lodle-lay-e-oh-oh-oh-tee
I-dee-oh-lay-e-tee
Lay-e-tee
Diddle-odle-lay-e-tee
My Morphine will be
The death of me

You should have seen
Me and my Morphine
When we used to
Go dancing in the war
Spin me right off the floor
My Morphine will be
The death of me

Morphine Morphine
What made you so mean
You never used to
Do me like you do
Where's that sweet gal I knew
My Morphine will be
The death of me
My Morphine
