Codine

On the day I was born the Grim Reaper smiled He said I'll get you yet now you demonized child But I's younger than all my brothers You know it's all that's left of mine Honey but I caught 'em Yeah I passed 'em, hon I left 'em, left 'em with some Co-dine And it's real, lord it's real yeah, one more time Now I seem to recall when I's a young girl How my joys and my happiness you know all seemed to whirl But then somethings, honey sometimes, somehow it seems Oh codine became so liked, it took my dreams Hon and it's real, lord it's real yeah, one more time It's the reason I breath honey, it's the reason I walk It's the reason I sleep and the reason I talk Yeah but soon my devotion will all be repaid For codine will kill me honey, that's the bargin that we've made And it's real, lord it's real yeah, one more time And after I'm gone and this sad race is run Guess I'll go down to hell where my life was begun But there'll be somebody with me child that won't leave me alone Oh codine'll be waitin' to punish my role Hon it's real, lord it's real, one more time Yeah and after I'm gone and the mornin' sets in Don't you morn what I was girl nor'n what might have been Morn my sad heart, honey my tear filled eyes Morn the codeine that I need, that I crave, and I despise Hon it's real, lord it's real, one more time Yeah it's real, lord it's real, one more time
