An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my headI feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were deadIf I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long timeFor I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codineAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more
timeWhen I was a young man I learned not to careWild whiskey, confronted I often did swearMy mother and
father said whiskey is a curseBut the fate of their baby
is many times worseAn' it's real, an'
it's real, one more timeYou'll forget your
woman, you'll forget about manTry it just once,
an' you'll try it againIt's sometimes you
wonder and it's sometimes you thinkThat I'm
a-living my life with abandon to drinkAn' it's
real, an' it's real, one more timeStay
away from the cities, stay away from the townsStay away
from the men pushin' the codine aroundStay away from
the stores where the remedy is foundI will live a few days
as a slave to codineAn' it's real, an'
it's real, one more timeAn' my belly is
craving, I've got a shakin' in my headAn'
I've started heating whether my body saidSteady
yourself with the grains of cocaineAn' you'll
end dead or you'll end up insaneAn' it's
real, an' it's real, one more timeAn'
my belly is craving, I got shaking in my headI feel like
I'm dyin' an' I wish I were deadIf I lived
till tomorrow it's gonna be a long timeFor I'll
reel and I'll fall and rise on codineAn'
it's real, an' it's real, one more timeAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more
timeTangerine EyesPlease darling
Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me,One that I can hear all
the day.Oh and please darling Tangerine Eyes kiss my hand
at dawnBy the bright and yellow corn of your hair.Like a picture of the golden sunset you can make it
real,You know just how I feel all the time.So please
darling Tangerine Eyes whisper to the windWe'll leave
the rain behind and walk away.We walk along the
lonesome shoreline listening to the sea,Talking to you and
me about the skyAnd we know even as we walk that way
before the dawnOur footsteps will be gone far away.The seagulls ride the winds for you, can't you hear
them cry,Can't you hear them sigh out your name?Oh please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for meOne
that I can hearSo I feel alrightIn the big start
studded night of my dreams
