Cod'ine
Buffy Sainte-Marie

And my belly is craving. I got a shakin' in my head.nFeel like I'm dyin', and I wish I was dead.nIf I lived till tomorrow, that'll be a long time.nBut I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll rise on cod'ine.nAnd it's real, and it's real, one more time.nnWell, when I was a young girl I learned not to carenfor whiskey and from it I often did swear.nMy mother and father said whiskey's a curse,nbut the fate of their baby was a many times worse.nAnd it's real, and it's real, one more time.nnStay away from the cities, stay away from the towns,nstay away from the men pushin' the codeine around,nstay away from the stores where the remedy is fine,nfor better your pain than be caught on cod'ine.nAnd it's real, and it's real, one more time.nnYou'll forget you're a woman. You'll forget about men.nTry it just once, and you'll try it again.nYou'll forget about life, you'll forget about time,nAnd you'll live off your days as a slave to cod'ine.nAnd it's real, and it's real, one more time.nnBut if I die tomorrow, still one thing I've done.nI've heeded the warning that I got when I was young.nMy one satisfaction, it comes when I thinknthat I'm living my life without bendin' to drink.nAnd it's real, and it's real, one more time.nnAnd my belly is craving. I got a shaking in my head.nI feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I was dead.nIf I live till tomorrow, that'll be a long time.nBut I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll die on cod'ine.nAnd it's real, and it's real, one more time.
