[Spoken]
Folk music is high-class music. There's a lotta low-class people singin' it. Matter of fact, most so-called folk singers don't e'en look like folk. Folk song tells true stories but terrible stories, because folk are terrible. Terrible songs make big songs. Why do you think kids like rock 'n' roll? Because it's terrible! You think they gonna listen to the Philadelphia Symphony? A hundred and one strings? Why do you think I like...

Cocaine, cocaine
Runnin' round my heart
And then runnin', oh it runnin'
Round my brain
I woke up this mornin'
Had a hungry pang
All I wanted for breakfast was
Some good ol' cocaine
Come here, momma!
Oh, come here quick
Ol' cocaine got me, momma
And I'm feelin' sick
The doctor said
"If you're all sick, come in"
They said I'll cure ya
But the voucher don't say when
I walked down Elm
I walked down Main
Tryna bum a dollah
To get me some cocaine
[Spoken]
I crave cocaine! Haha! But I can't find nothin' here in Atlanta. I'm goin' back down to South Georgia. Down to Fitzgerald. Down to Dr. Hale's drugstore. All these old doctors in Atlanta wantcha money! I'm tired of wakin' up feelin' bad e'ery mornin'. Drinkin' this old bad liquor. I want somethin' to pep me up. Dr. Hale'll give you what youse want, like a doctor supposed to do! Those of y'all know what's happenin', meet me under the clothesline, 'cause that where I hang out
[Sung]
I went down to Fitzgerald
Down to Dr. Hale
And a sign in that window
Read that night, "Got no coke"
I walked down Elm
I walked down Main
Tryna find a woman
Who deals cocaine
Get outta here, woman!
Oh, I thought you understood
You ain't got no connection
Then you're damn sure ain't no good
Cocaine, cocaine
Lord, it's runnin' round my heart
And it runnin', oh it runnin'
Round my brain
Let it run, boy!
Well, (?) got a theory
Sweeter is the juice
Gimme another woman
For my particular use
I chew my tobbacah
Lord knows it's my juice
I'm gonna use cocaine
Until life ain't no use
Cocaine, cocaine
Oh, it runnin' round my heart
And it runnin', oh it runnin'
Round my brain
