Take a Whiff on Me Songtext
von Lead Belly

Walked up Ellum and I come down Main
Tryin′ to bum a nickle, just to buy cocaine
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me.

Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me
And everybody, take a whiff on me
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me

Went to Mr. Lehman's on a lope
Sign in the window said: ′No more coke'.
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me.

Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me
And everybody, take a whiff on me
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me

Goin' up State Street, comin′ down Main
Lookin′ for the woman that uses cocaine.
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me.

Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me
And everybody, take a whiff on me
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me


I'se got a nickle, you′se got a dime...
You buy the coke and I'll buy the wine.
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me.

Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me
And everybody, take a whiff on me
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
Takes a brown-skinned woman, for my particular use.
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me.

Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me
And everybody, take a whiff on me
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me

Cocaine′s for horses and not for men
Doctors sat t'will kill you but they don′t say when.
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me.

Take a whiff on me, take a whiff on me
And everybody, take a whiff on me
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me

Whiff-a-ree and whiff-a-rye
Gonna keep on a whiffin' boys, 'till I die.
Ho, ho, honey take a whiff on me.
