With a low down sorry man

Marijuana has destroyed my mind

Well my Daddy taught me plenty

She said if I didn't quit my rowdy ways

                 D7             G
I'd have trouble knocking at my door
[Verse 6]
        G
When my Earthly trials are over

                   D7          G
Throw my cold dead body in the sea

          G
Tell that false hearted lover of mine

That the whales are gonna fuss over me

Sweet Heaven when I die
