My Morphine Songtext
von David Johansen and the Harry Smiths

I looked around
Been all up and down
No, 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 a man weep and moan

Ay-dee-oh-lay-tee
Ay-da-lee-do-lo-da-lay, lo-do-lay-tee
Ay-dee-oh-lay-tee, lay-tee
Dee-do-lo-da-lay-tee
My morphine
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

Ay-dee-oh-lay-tee
Ay-da-lee-do-lo-da-lay, yodel-ay-tee
Ay-dee-oh-lay-tee, lay-tee
Lee-do-lo-da-lay-tee
My morphine
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 girl I knew

Ay-dee-oh-lay-tee
Ay-da-lee-do-lo-da-lay, yodel-ay-tee
Ay-dee-oh-lay-tee, lay-tee
Dee-do-lo-da-lay-tee
My morphine
Be the death of me

My morphine
