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
