Standard (EADGBE)

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

Chorus

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
