My Morphine Lyrics

My Morphine by Gillian Welch on Hell Among the Yearlings, Almo Records
Gillian Welch: Acoustic Guitar, Vocal
David Rawlings: Electric Guitar
I've looked around
Been all up and down
I never wasted time
On two or three
There's only one girl for me
There was a time
She used to treat me fine
But lately she's been acting
Awful stone
Makes her man
Weep and moan
Chorus:
I-dee-oh-lay-e-tee
Idle-liddle-lodle-lay-e-oh-oh-oh-tee
I-dee-oh-lay-e-tee
Lay-e-tee
Diddle-odle-lay-e-tee
My Morphine will be
The death of me
You should have seen
Me and my Morphine
When we used to
Go dancing in the war
Spin me right off the floor
(Chorus yodel)
My Morphine will be
The death of me
Morphine Morphine
What made you so mean
You never used to
Do me like you do
Where's that sweet gal I knew
(Chorus yodel)
My Morphine will be
The death of me
My Morphine
