Cocaine Habit Blues Tab

by Old Crow Medicine Show


Didn’t see this tab anywhere and it’s a really fun song, good to play for friends and at
and stuff, always gets a laugh. It’s a traditional song, written when you could still
cocaine at the local pharmacy. The Memphis Jug Band first popularized it, then Grateful 
and then Old Crow Medicine Show. As its traditional they are all played and sung a
different, but that’s the beauty of traditional music. This is from the Big Iron World 
there is also a version on the self titled I believe. Anyways have fun, and if you get a 
try it out on the banjo and the slide guitar; both work really well on the song and sound great. Cheers.


 
Well that cocaine habit is mighty bad
  
It's the worst old habit that I ever had
                                 
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me


Take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me

All you rounders take a whiff on me
                                 
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me

Well I went to Mr. Lehman's on a lope
He's got a sign on the window says, "no more dope"
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a whiff on me
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me

Well I love my whiskey and I love my gin
But the way I love my coke is a dog-gone sin
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a whiff on me
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me

Now if you don’t believe cocaine is good
You ask Carl Rove or Elijah Woods
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a whiff on me
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a whiff on me
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
All you rounders take a whiff on me
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
