 An' my belly  is craving,  I got a shakin'  in my head
 I feel  like I'm dyin'  an' I wish  I were dead
 If I lived  till tomorrow  it's gonna  be a long time
 For I'll reel  and I'll fall  and rise  on codine
 An' it's real,  an' it's real,  one more  time
 When I was a young man I learned not to care
 Wild whiskey "in fronted", I often did swear
 My mother and father said whiskey is a curse
 But the fate of their baby is many times worse
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man
 Try it just once, an' you'll try it again
 It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think
 That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 etc... /a*  /  /  /
 Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
 Stay away from the men pushin' the codeine around
 Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found
 I'll live a few days as a slave to codine
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head
 An' I've started heating whether my body said
 Stave yourself with the grains of cocaine
 An' you'll end up dead or you'll end up insane
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 Repeat first verse..
 Enjoy it... Jean-David
