Champagne & Reefer Lyrics

Give me champagne when I'm thirsty
Give me a reefer when I want to get high
Give me champagne when I'm thirsty
Give me a reefer when I want to get high
Give me a woman when I get lonely
And set her right down here by my side (well, your turn)

Lord there shouldn't be no law
When a man want to smoke a little dope (hey Mick)
Lord there shouldn't be no law
When a man want to smoke a little dope
Yeah,

Yeah, every time I get high
Yeah, I lay my head down on my baby's breast (well)
Every time I get high
I want to lay down on my baby's breast

Well you know she hugged and kissed me, baby
She said Buddy Guy you are the best

I want to get high this mornin'
Just to sho' is my name
I want to get high this mornin', Mick
Just to sho' is my name
You can bet my bottom dollar, Keith
I ain't gonna use no cocaine

Give me champagne when I'm thirsty
Give me a weed when I want to get high
Give me champagne when I'm thirsty
Give me a reefer when I want to get high
Give me a woman when I get lonely
Lay down by my baby's side

Give me a woman when I get lonely
Lay down by my baby's side

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
