The Maple Leaf Champions Jug Band sings:
Take A Whiff On Me
Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue Strollin' down the Avenue two by two Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me Well, I love my whiskey and I love my gin The way I love my coke, it's a doggone sin. Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me.
Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me, All you rounders take a whiff on me Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me.
Tell it to me boys, tell it to me, Drink corn liquor, let the cocaine be, Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me. Cocaine's for horses, not for men, Doctor says 'll kill me, but he don't say when, Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me.
Take a whiff...
In the graveyard on the hill Lies the body of Cocaine Bill, Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me. And in the graveyard by his side Lies the body of his cocaine bride, Oh Lord Honey take a whiff on me.
Take a whiff...
Take a whiff o' ree take a whiff o' rye, Gonna keep sniffin' till the day I die Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me. Now all these Okies are gonna be dead If they don't stop sniffin' that stuff in their head. Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me.
Take a,take a, take a, take a whiff on me, Everybody take a whiff on me, Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me.
Take a (sniff), take a (sniff), take a (sniff) on me, Everybody take a whiff on me, Oh Lord, Honey take a whiff on me.
