作曲 : Unknown
My belly is a-craving, I got a shaking in my head
I feel like I'm dying, and I wish I was dead
If I live 'til tomorrow, that'll be a long time
But I'll real and I'll fall and I'll rise on codeine
And it's reel, and it's real, one more time
Well, when I was a young girl, I learned not to care
Off whiskey, and frlick I often did swear
My mother and father said, Whiskey's a curse
But the fate of their baby is many times worse
And it's reel, and it's reel, one more time
Stay away from the cities; stay away from the town
Stay away from the man pushin' codeine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is fine
For better your pain than be caught on codeine
And it's reel, and it's reel, one more time
You'll forget you're a woman, you'll forget about men
Try it just once, and you'll try it again
You'll forget about life, you'll forget about time
And you'll live off your days as a slave to codeine
And it's reel, and it's reel, one more time
But, if I die tomorrow, still one thing I've done
I've heeded the warning that I got when I was young
My one satisfaction, it comes when I think
That I'm livin' my life without bendin' to drink
And it's real, and it's real, one more time
And my belly is a-cravin'; I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dying, and I wish I was dead
If I live 'til tomorrow, that'll be a long time
But I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll die on codeine
And it's real, and it's real, one more time
