about

I heard this tune for the first time on one of my favorite all-time albums: Poison 13's Wine is Red, Poison Is Blue. RIP Mike Carroll.
Many thanks to the legendary Buffy Sainte Marie.

lyrics

Cod'ine ©1964 Buffy Sainte Marie

I've got a craving in my belly, got a shaking in my head
I feel like I'm dying, Lord I wish I was dead
If I live 'til tomorrow, that'll be a long time
But I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll rise on Cod'ine
And it's real, yes it's real,
One more time.

Well when I was a young girl, I learned not to care
About whiskey and from it, I often did swear
My mother and my father said whiskey's a curse
But the fate of their baby, is a million times worse
And it's real, yes it's real,
One more time.

Stay away from the pool halls, and the taverns uptown
Stay away from the man pushing Cod'ine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy you'll find
For better your pain, than be caught on Cod'ine
And it's real, yes it's real,
One more time.

You'll forget you're a woman, you'll forget about men
Try it one time, and you'll try it again
You'll forget about life, you'll forget about time
And you'll spend all your days as a slave to Cod'ine

And it's real, and it's real, and it's real, yes it's real,
And it's real, (Yes it's real) And it's real (Yes it's real)
And it's real, Yes it's real.
And it's real, (Yes it's real) Yes it's real (Yes it's real)
And it's real, Yes it's real.
And it's real, and it's real
One more time.
