Momma was an opium-smoker She light it with a red-hot poker She would never take a bath We would ask her - she'd just laugh Because our momma was an opium-smoker She made it with this gentleman, Lincoln They met on a boat, it was sinking When she shoulda gone overboard, Momma say, "No way, oh my lord" "Only of opium smoke am I thinkin'" Oh help us Lord We can't afford, her destructive ways You oughtta hear what she says!
She would just sit on her fat a** Yell at us, "Fill up my wine gla**!" She would tell us, "How sad" "You won't never know your dad" Oh yeah, my momma was an opium-smoker She hide the money and the d** in the mattress I wonder, how long has she been at this? And I say, "Mom, bang the gong" "Can't you see, it's gone all wrong?" Oh yeah, my momma was an opium-smoker
