30 Days in the Hole Lyrics

Roll my tape
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Thirty days...
Anyone doin' that one?
I'm doin' that one


30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole

all right all right all right all right, yeah

Chicago Green, talkin' 'bout Black Lebanese
A dirty room and a silver coke spoon
Give me my release, come on
Black napalese, it's got you weak in your knees
Sneeze some dust that you got buzzed on
You know it's hard to believe

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
That's what they give you
30 days in the hole
I know

Newcastle Brown, I'm tellin' you, it can sure smack you down
Take a greasy whore and a rollin' dance floor
It's got your head spinnin' round
If you live on the road, well there's a new highway code
You take the urban noise with some dirt with poison
It's gonna lessen your load

30 days in the hole
That's what they give you now
30 days in the hole
Oh, yeah
30 days in the hole
All right, all right
30 days in the hole

What you doin' boy?
You here for 30 days
Get, get, get your long hair cut
And cut out your ways

Black napalese, it got you weak in your knees
Gonna sneeze some dust that you got busted on
You know it's so hard to please
Newcastle Brown can sure smack you down
You take a greasy whore and a rollin' dance floor
You know you're jailhouse-bound

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
Oh, yeah
30 days in the hole
30 days, 30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole

cept is "durban poison" not "dirt with poison"...Durban Poison is a strain of grass from South Africa...and I always thought it was "seeds and dust, that you got bust on"..but I could be wrong about that one. Im sure about the Durban Poison thing though.

This is right, "seeds and dust, that you got bust on" Indeed DP or Durban Poison is a Sth African strain of grass that'll tear you apart! awesome smoke ... but haven't seen it in 30 years :(

Not Valid

Durbin Poisen...correct.

I love this song, my dad used to do a cover of it with his band. He went thru and explianed all the drug references to me once, but I think I was high at the time......

Newcastle Brown refers to Newcastle Brown ale I am assuming....I would that there would be not a hash named after a city in England! Black Lebanese...only tried the blonde... Black Nepalese...tried it but can't remember...:-)))

@drmorf I recall trying red (not black) Lebanese, as well as the blonde. Black Nepalese was a rarity in those days but quite lovely. And Durban Poison is weed. It was one of the first strong sativa strains to be cultivated. Not as nice as Humbold sinsemilla (which was already being grown back then) but still quite good.

So the song's about Steve's favorite road entertainments, and how some of them could get you busted back then. And the one involving the spoon still can.

@drmorf it's heroine
