Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue
Now Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue
Were walking down Fifth Avenue
Chorus:
So honey have a [sniff] have a [sniff] on me.
Honey have a [sniff] on me.
They came to a drugstore painted green
Outside was a sign said "No Morphine."
They came to a drugstore finished in oak
The sign outside said "No More Coke."
From Broadway to the state of Maine
They search in vain for more cocaine.
So in the river side by side
They both committed suicide.
Now in the graveyard on the hill
Lies the body of Cocaine Bill
And in that graveyard by his side
Lies the body of his Morphine Bride.
The moral of this story goes
There aint no future in snuffin' snow.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
If the coke don't get ya, the morphine must.
