Strum
D-DU-UDU
Morning  found me lyin' on a floor in New Orleans
Looking  like the patches was about to eat my jeans
 Feeling like my belly was a warehouse for the  blues
 And I sure  miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina
Better  on an ocean liner, call the Cocaine  Carolina
She  was quite a lady then, and I was twenty-two
God  knows how much I adored her, I just never could afford  her
Cocaine  Carolina how did I get hooked on you
 So goodbye  Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I'm  going back to Sandy Skag, she knows just what to do
She  don't love me for my money, she just wants my body  honey
Cocaine  Carolina, how did I get hooked on you
 Oh someone  said if I was lucky, I could go back to  Kentucky
Lexington  was famous for its bluegrass and its hills
Carolina  we should get up, don't you know we'll  have to split up
Baby  I should go to Californ-ia
 Repeat chorus and fade
