	Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue
		(unknown author?)

Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue
Strolling down the avenue two by two.

Refrain:

Oh,honey, won't you have a little sniff on me,
Have a sniff on me.

Said Sue to Bill, "It'll do no harm,
If we both just have a little shot in the arm."

Said Bill to Sue, "I can't refuse,
'Cause there's no more kick in this darned ol' booze."

So they walked down First and they turned up Main,
Looking for a place they could buy cocaine.

They came to a drugstore full of smoke,
Where they saw a little sign sayin', "No more coke."

Now in the graveyard on the hill,
Lies the  body of Cocaine Bill.

And in a grave right by his side,
Lies the body of his cocaine bride.

All o' you cokies is a-gonna be dead
If you don't stop a-sniffing that stuff in your head.

Now where they went, no one can tell
It might have been Heaven or it might have been sniff.
