Memphis Jug Band
Walked up Ellum and I come down Main
Tryin' to bum a nickle, just to buy c**aine
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
Chorus: Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me
And everybody, take a whiff on me
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
Went to Mr. Lehman's on a lope
Sign in the window said: "No more coke"
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
(...chorus...)
Goin' up State Street, commin' down Main
Lookin' for the woman that uses c**aine
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
(...chorus...)
I'se got a nickle, you'se got a dime...
You buy the coke and I'll buy the wine
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
(...chorus...)
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
Takes a brown-skin woman, for my particular use
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
(...chorus...)
I chew my tobacco, and I spit my juice
I love my baby 'till it ain't no use
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
(...chorus...)
Cocaine's for horses and not for men
Doctors say t'will k** you but they don't say when
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
(...chorus...)
Whiff-a-ree and whiff-a-rye
Gonna keep on a whiffin', boys, 'till I die
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me
