Morning found me lying on a floor in New Orleans

G                                 C
Lookin like the patches that was about to eat my jeans

C                          F
Feelin like my belly was a warehouse for the blues

And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina

Met her on an ocean liner, called the Cocaine Carolina

She was quite a lady then and I was twenty two

God knows how much I adore her, I just never could afford her

I'm going back to Sandy Skag, she knows just what to do

Oh, someone said if I was lucky, I could go back to Kentucky

G                            C
Lexington was famous for its bluegrass and its hills
