From: John R. Cash

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Morning found me lying 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
Met her on an ocean liner, called her 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?

[Chorus]
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I’m going back to Sandy Scag, 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?

[Verse 2]
Oh someone said if I was lucky I could go back to Kentucky
Lexington was famous for it’s bluegrass and its hills
Carolina, we should get up, don’t you know we’ll have to split up?
Maybe I should go to California

[Chorus]
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I’m going back to Sandy Scag, 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?

So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I’m going back to Sandy Scag, 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 goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I’m going back to Sandy Scag, 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 goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I’m going back to Sandy Scag, she knows just what to do
She don’t love me for my money
