I looked around, I been all up and down
I never wasted time on two or three
There's only one girl for me
And there was a time she used to treat me kind
But lately she's been actin' awful stoned
It makes a man weep and moan

My morphine will be the death of me

You should have seen me and my morphine
When we used to go dancing in the war
She'd spin me right off the floor
Morphine, morphine, what makes you so mean?
You never used to do me like you do
Oh, where's that sweet gal I knew?

Well, my morphine will be the death of me
Oh, my morphine will be the death of me
