Take a Whiff on Me Lyrics

Take a whiff on me,
Take a whiff on me,
Everybody take a whiff on me.
Well-a-hey-hey,
Baby, take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me,
Take a whiff on me,
Everybody take a whiff on me.
Well-a-hey-hey,
Baby, take a whiff on me

Well cocaine for horses,
Not for men,
Doctor say it'll kill ya but he don't know when.
Well-a-hey-hey,
Baby, take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me,
Take a whiff on me,
Everybody take a whiff on me.
Well-a-hey-hey,
Baby, take a whiff on me

I say the redder the berry,
The sweeter the juice,
Take a red-headed woman for particular use.
Well-a-hey-hey,
Baby, take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me,
Take a whiff on me,
Everybody take a whiff on me.
Well-a-hey-hey,
Baby, take a whiff on me

Nope, it is a Leadbelly song. Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly were friends and Guthrie may have done the song, but Leadbelly wrote it (possibly co-written with Blind Lemon Jefferson.) The original first verse starts with 'I'm walkin' up Ellum and headin' down Main/ Tryin' to bum a nickel jus' to buy cocaine'. Ellum refers to 'Deep Ellum' - a 'corruption' of 'Elm Street' - a street in Texas (Dallas, I believe) where Leadbelly and other folk/blues musicians of his time hung out. Also, the original says 'the BLACKER the berry, the sweeter the juice/ takes a brown-skinned woman for my particular use.'

I thought it was Leadbelly or Captain Beefheart. I'm probably wrong though. The performance of this on Under Blackpool Lights is pretty insane though.

It's by Woody Guthrie, 100%, I'm listening to it right now. And it's about cocaine.
