Tell It to Me - Live at The Ryman
Well, I'm ridin' up Fifth Street, I'm comin' up Main
I tried to bum a nickel for to buy cocaine
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Won't you tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Yes! It's a little cautionary tale here for you here on the monitor
Reminding you to drink corn liquor
And let the cocaine be
Well, I sniff coke, I sniff it in the wind
The doctor, he says it'll kill me, but he can't say when
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Won't you tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Well, I sniff coke before I die
You know that I've been sniffin' coke, and it took my life
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Won't you tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
I slide for a little while on the electric cephalopod
Well, all them ole Memphis they think they're tough
But they feed their women on the beer and the snuff
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Won't you tell it to me
T-, t-, tell it to me
D-, d-, drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Whoo! Ha-ha-ha-ha
I tried to bum a nickel for to buy cocaine
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Won't you tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Yes! It's a little cautionary tale here for you here on the monitor
Reminding you to drink corn liquor
And let the cocaine be
Well, I sniff coke, I sniff it in the wind
The doctor, he says it'll kill me, but he can't say when
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Won't you tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Well, I sniff coke before I die
You know that I've been sniffin' coke, and it took my life
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Won't you tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
I slide for a little while on the electric cephalopod
Well, all them ole Memphis they think they're tough
But they feed their women on the beer and the snuff
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Won't you tell it to me
T-, t-, tell it to me
D-, d-, drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Tell it to me
Tell it to me
Drink the corn liquor, let the cocaine be
Cocaine's gonna kill my honey dead
Whoo! Ha-ha-ha-ha
