I learned this song from Clifton Hicks, who in turn learned the song from George Gibson. Cicadas are getting mighty loud now but I plan on recording this song inside too.
Lyrics:
I took morphine last Saturday night
Lord, I took it in a hell of a way.
If the doctor hadn’t come just as he did,
I’d be dead and in my grave today.
So it’s peaches, honey. It’s rye, rock and rye.
Oh baby, let me tell you my dream.
I dreamed I had money. It’s pockets full of money
and a quarter in a big dice game.
But when I woke it was only a joke
and I didn’t have a penny to my name.
And if I thought you didn’t love me
I would take morphine and I’d die.
Just one big dose of that old Morphine
and I'll bid this world goodbye.
So it’s peaches, honey. It’s rye, rock and rye.
Oh baby, I’ll love you ’til I die.
