Best song about smoking dope?
No not the songs you listen to WHEN you're baked, but the songs that actually use that for a subject matter.

Rush's "A Passage To Bangkok" is a virtual stoner's world tour......

Our first stop is in Bogota
To check Colombian fields
The natives smile and pass along
A sample of their yield
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East
Fly by morning light

We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit the stops along the way
We only stop for the best

Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon
We burn the midnight oil
The fragrance of Afghanistan
Rewards a long day's toil
Pulling into Katmandu
Smoke rings fill the air
Perfumed by a Nepal night
The Express gets you there

1. Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf
More of a homage to that most splendid plant than actually about smoking but it's probably the greatest Pot song ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CKwS30Prow

SWEET LEAF

Alright now!!
Wont you listen?

When I first met you, didnt realize
I cant forget you, for your suprize
You introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind

I love you, oh you know it

My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you cant hear

Come on now, try it out

Straight people dont know, what your about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf

2. "Willin'" by Little Feat
It's really about truck driving, but it mentions weed...

I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty don't ya know, and I'm still, willin'
Out on the road late at night, Seen my pretty Alice in every head light
Alice, Dallas Alice

I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'

I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in, but I'm still on my feet and I'm still... willin'
Now I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico, and I'm still

And I been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin

13. Bless ya for that pic.
My older brother introduced me to Little Feat. Never could understand the names of those towns mentioned so when Linda Ronstadt covered it I thought I heard "took a hatchet to a totem pole" instead of "Tehachapi to Tonapah". :shrug:

I do favor their cover of "Don't Bogart That Joint" over the original. :smoke:

3. Uncle Shelby's classic
I Got Stoned And I missed It
I was sitting in my basement.
I just rolled myself a taste
Of something green and gold and glorious
To get me through the day.
Then my friend yelled through the transom
"Grab your coat and get your hat son,
There's a nut down on the corner,
Givin' dollar bills away"
But I laid around a bit
Then I had another hit.
Then I rolled myself a bomber.
Then I thought about my mama.
Then I fooled around, played around
jacked around a while and then
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.


It took seven months of urgin'
Just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face
Up to my place
To fool around a bit.
Next day she woke up rosy,
And she snuggled up so cozy.
When she asked me how I liked it,
Lord it hurts me to admit,
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
I'm makin' no excuses


For the many things I uses
Just to sweeten up my relationships
And brighten up my day.
When my earthly race is over
And I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been
I guess I'll have to say,
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.

or Peter Tosh

The Fugs - "Marijuana" (the Gregorian chant one)

Simon and Garfunkel - "Blessed" (just because they mention "pot sellers" among the "blessed")

74. I love Cypress Hill
I even have their logo tattooed on my right shoulder, but with "GRINGO LOCO" instead of Cypress Hill.

Many more songs by them (most of them?) too. The one that pops to mind you didn't mention was, Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk.

6. Henry by New Riders of the Purple Sage
Edited on Thu Dec-04-08 06:52 AM by hippywife
takes me back to my high school daze a long time ago...hehe. :hi:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtAj4MLOiTw

Ev’ry year along about this time it all goes dry
there’s nothing round for love or money
that’ll get you high
Henry got pissed off and said he’d run to Mexico
to see if he could come back holdin’
twenty keys of gold

Now the road to Acapulco is very hard indeed
and it isn’t any better if you haven’t any weed
Henry’s driving hard and straight
on twisty mountain roads
there’s fifty people waiting back
at home for Henry’s load

And now he’s rollin’ down the mountain
going fast, fast, fast
and if he blows it this one’s gonna be his last
Run to Acapulco to turn the golden keys
Henry keep the brakes on for this corner if you please

Henry got to Mexico and turned his truck around
he’s talking to the man who has it
growing from the ground
Henry tasted, he got wasted, couldn’t even see
how he’s gonna drive like that is not too clear to me

And now he’s rollin’ down the mountain
going fast, fast, fast
and if he blows it this one’s gonna be his last
Run to Acapulco to turn the golden keys
Henry keep the brakes on for this corner if you please

Sunday afternoon Tijuana is a lovely town
bullfight brings the tourists and
their money flowing down
The border guards are much too busy
there at five o’clock
Henry’s truckin’ right on through,
he hardly even stopped (repeat chorus)

8. Don't forget Panama Red
Panama Red, Panama Red
He'll steal your woman, then he'll rob your head
Panama Red, Panama Red
On his white horse, Mescalito
He come breezin' through town
I'll bet your woman's up in bed with
Panama Red

The judge don't know when Red's in town
He keeps well hidden underground
But everybody's acting lazy
Falling out and hangin' 'round

My woman said, "Hey Pedro
you're actin' crazy like a clown"
Nobody feels like working
Panama Red is back in town



Everybody's looking out for him
'Cause they know Red's satisfies
Little girls love to listen to him
Sing and tell sweet lies

But when things get too confusing, honey
You're better off in bed
And I'll be searching all the joints in town for
Panama Red

9. Okie From Muskogee
...and I say that for two reasons. First, when the Beach Boys added this one to their sets at the height of their "buzzed and hairy" period, it was pretty damned amusing.

Second, I saw Merle perform this one a few years back. He did a 40 minute set as part of a double bill with George Jones. There was a "morans" guy in the audience who yelled:

"MERLE! Okie fumma skogee! Okie fumma skogee! Okie fumma skogee!"



before AND after EVERY song in the set. Haggard performed it as the next-to-last song and the guy in the audience yelled "THANK YOU MERLE" at the end.

31. Burn One Down is the correct answer.
Legalize it's good too, but it's not my favorite Tosh song about ganja -- that'd be "Bush Doctor."

14. Muddy Waters, "Champagne and Reefer."
Edited on Thu Dec-04-08 10:13 AM by old mark
"Give me champagne when I'm thirsty
an' reefer when I wants to get high..."

I love that tune, haven't heard it in many years, though.
Recorded in the early '60's, IIRC.

21. My favorite has always been this old classic:
Wildwood Weed

(Jim Stafford)

The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm,
And we never knowed what it was called.
Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed,
I never gave it much thought ......
One day I was out there talking to my brother,
Reached down for a weed to chew on,
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry,
And then everything was gone!
Didn't know what happened,
But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap.

I come to and my brother was there,
And he said, What's wrong with your eyes?
I said, I don't know, I was chewing on a weed.
He said, Let me give it a try.
We spent the rest of that day and most of that night,
Trying to find my brother, Bill.
Caught up with him, 'bout six o'clock the next morning,
Naked, swinging on the wind mill!
He said he flew up there.
I had to fly up there and bring him down,
He was about half crazy .....

The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds,
And put 'em in the sun to dry.
Then we mashed 'em up and chopped 'em up,
And put 'em in the corncob pipe.
Smokin' that wildwood flower got to be a habit,
We didn't see no harm.
We thought it was kind of handy,
Take a trip and never leave the farm!

All good things gotta come to an end,
And it's the same with the wildwood weed.
One day this feller from Washington came by,
And he spied and turned white as a sheet.
Then they dug and they burned,
And they burned and they dug,
And they killed all our cute little weeds.
Then they drove away,
We just smiled and waved ..........
Sittin' there on that sack of seeds!

Y'all come back now, hear?

26.  I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/157048/ill_never_smoke_weed_with_willie_again/


I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again


I always heard that his herb was top shelf
I just could not wait to find out for myself
Don't knock it til' you tried it, Well I tried it my friend
And I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and passed him around
The last words that I spoke before they tucked me in
Was I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

I hopped on his old bus, the Honey Suckle Rose
The party was Vegas it was after the show.
Alone in the front lounge with just me and him,
With one parting puff grim creeper set in.

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

Now we're passing the guitar and telling good jokes
I know ones a-comin' cause I'm smelling smoke
No I do not partake, I just let it pass by
With a smile on my face and a great contact high

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

In the fetal position with drool on my chin
I messed up and smoked weed with Willie again

27. Mama Told Me Not to Come
Three Dog Night
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWMt5Hk0E-g

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"

Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend - she's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is - I don't wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"
"That ain't the way to have fun, no"
"That ain't the way to have fun, son"

38. One I can't remember except for a coupla lines
Yes, we're goin' south (south)
Gonna get some Acapulco gold




Haven't heard it since 1974 and haven't been able to find it anywhere. It was a slow, kind of lazy tune, with (I think) three-part harmony — rather like an old country ballad in the tradition of the Sons of the Pioneers.



Anybody got a clue? :shrug:

75. ok...
that is ringing a bell (through the haze, faintly:D)

and what about a song I think Cheech and Chong did:

no stems no seeds
that you don't need
Acapulco Gold is
bad ass weed.

is that the only lines you can remember about your song?

87. Verbatim, yeah
The chorus went like...


Yes, we're goin' south (south)
Gonna get some Acapulco gold
(da-da da-da da-da da-da-daaa)
(da-da da-da da-da da-da-daaa)
(da-da da-da da-da da-da)
Of Acapulco gold




:shrug:



That Cheech and Chong bit was from a commercial for Acapulco Gold — "Just a stony three hits longer! Long in the leaf and short in the can! But don't take my word for it, listen to what Ashley Roachclip of the Jefferson Hairpie has to say!"

"Uh (cough) yeah, man (cough) that's (cough) right, man. Y'know, every time I lay this weed on one of my friends, they light it up and they just take one toke and they look at me and say, 'Roach, this weed's so muthafuckin' baaaaaaad!'"

"Oh, you can't say that! That's not right!"

"Hey, man, what you want, now? Good grammar or good taste?"



:D

88. you are not going to believe this:
ACAPULCO GOLD
Me and Marty took a honeymoon,
Below the border 'neath the silvery moon,
I was eighteen and he was twenty two,
Now we're just a-doin' what the young folks do
We're goin' south, south, to get that
Acapulco Gold
Ain't nothin' it can't fix,
Old dogs can learn new tricks,
When the streets are lined with bricks
Of Acapulco Gold
We'd just 'bout decided to cadge the whole thing
But then we thought that we ought to swing
You know the southland's got the keys,
Curin' them cotton pickin' sniffles and sneeze
refrain
Zig zag polly wolly diddum woddum doo
Hey diddle diddle twenty three skidoo
Me and Marty sure had fun
Acapulco Gold for everyone

Now that you've uncovered the lyrics, the next step is to identify the artist. I believe someone at KPIG may know, so I shall query them.

YMSB opened the Big Obama night in Denver at the DNC too. Not one of the songs they played however. They also do "Granny won't you smoke some" and "Legalize it". If you have never seen them you must. Bluegrass, ripping ass bluegrass.

51. Illegal Smile by John Prine
When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized
That I was havin' .. no fun

Chorus:
Ah But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

Last time I checked my bankroll,
It was gettin' thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom
Is the only place I've been
I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
Tryin' to get away
From all the ears inside my walls
I dreamed the police heard
Everything I thought... what then?
Well I went to court
And the judge's name was Hoffman

Ah but fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Well done, hot dog bun, my sister's a nun

52. Paul Simon 'Late in the Evening'
'Late in the Evening' by Paul Simon

Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was
underage in this funky bar And I stepped outside
to smoke myself a J When I come back to the room,
everybody just seemed to move And I turned my amp
up loud and I began to play

It was late in the evening, and I blew that room
away


Then there is the old favorite

'Uneasy Rider' by the Charlie Daniels Band

I was takin a trip out to L.A.
Toolin along in my cheverolet
Tokin on a number and diggin on the radio

Edited on Thu Dec-04-08 06:58 PM by Forkboy
Which is the band Sleep's entire 60+ minute song dedicated to the holy chalice called Jerusalem. How hardcore is their smoking habit? When the label gave them 10K to record the album they spent half of it on weed, then recorded said hour long tune, which the label promptly rejected. It has since gone on to be the cornerstone of all stoner doom since then.

I give you....Dopesmoker.

Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the Smoke toward the Riff filled Land
Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the Smoke toward the Riff filled Land

Proceeds the Weedian – Nazareth
Proceeds the Weedian – Nazareth

Creedsmen roll out across the dying dawn
Sacred Israel Holy Mountain Zion
Sun beams down on to the Sandsea reigns
Caravan migrates through deep sandscape
Lungsmen unearth the creed of Hasheeshian
Procession of the Weed-Priests to cross the sands
Desert Legion Smoke-Covenant is complete
Herb bails retied on to backs of beasts
Arise arise arise - The Son of the God of Israel
Jordan River flows on evermore
Bathe in glow of sunlight’s beating rays
They feel so lost and burned through our days
Stoner caravan emerge from sandsea
Earthling inserts to chalice the green cutchie
Groundation soul finds trust upon smoking hose
Assembled creedsmen rises prayer-filled smoke
Raise up seer’s Holy Prophecy
Lets down on upon years of the sun now feeds
Seed of Eden fall on the masses
Onward caravan prepare new bong

Weed-Priests
Judgement soon come to Mankind
Green Herbsmen serve rightful king
Hemp seed caravan carries

The molten fire flowed up toward Zion
Flight of the Nazarene to seek the Cheribum
Rides out believer with the spliff aflame
Marijuanaut escapes earth to cultivate


Grow-Room is church temple of the new stoner breed
Chants Loud-Robed priest down on to the freedom seed
Burnt offering redeems – completes smoked deliverance
Caravans’ stoned deliverance
The caravan holds to Eastern Creed - Now smokes believer !
The Chronicle of the Sensimillian

Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the smoke toward the riff-filled land
Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow-the-smoke-Jerusalem

54. last dance with Mary Jane
She grew up in an indiana town
Had a good lookin momma who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them indiana boys on an indiana night

Well she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away, it was more than theyd se en
I was introduced and we both started groovin
She said, I dig you baby but I got to keep movin
...on, keep movin on

Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again

Well I dont know what Ive been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
Im tired of screwing up, Im tired of goin down
Im tire of myself, Im tired of this town
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Honey put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come cause I cant stay long

Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again

T heres pidgeons down in market square
Shes standin in her underwear
Lookin down from a hotel room
Nightfall will be comin soon
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Youve got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up al one
I hit the last number, I walked to the road

Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again

62. John Valby - Marijuanaville
Rollin' my home grown, Smokin' a big bong
Look at that Ganja covered with oil
Using my tweezers, Got pot in the freezer
Made a new pipe out of aluminium foil

Wasted away again in Marijuana Ville
Searching for my roach clip on a rope
(On a rope On a rope On a rope)
Some people Claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, that it's all this damn dope

Don't know the reason, Satyed here all season
Maybe that Thai-stick was a way bit too strong
But I got a real beauty,A Columbian doobie
And soon I'll be up on my way along

Wasted away again in Marijuana Ville
Searching for my roach clip on a rope
(On a rope On a rope On a rope)
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, that it's all this damn dope

I blew out my bong pipe, Ran out of Bud Light
But I found some stash I had hidden at home
Put it into a blender, And soon it will render
These little fudge brownies that help me get stoned

Wasted away again in Marijuana Ville
Searching for my roach clip on a rope
(On a rope On a rope On a rope)
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, that it's all this damn dope

Yes Some people claim
(singing like Bob Dylan) I sound like Dylan when I'm stoned
But I know, that it's all this damn dope

72. "Dont step on the grass, Sam" Gov't Mule


Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' up the big knob
Tryin' to find some life in the waste land
Fin'ly found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane
Ready for a trip into the hate land
Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen
Along with his guest self-righteous Sam
And one more guy who doesn't count
His hair and clothes are much far out

While pushin' back his glasses Sam says
He was elected by the masses
And with that in mind he starts to unwind
A vicious attack upon the grasses

Well it's mean, evil, wicked and nasty
(Don't step on the grass, Sam)
And it will ruin our fair country
(Don't be such an ass, Sam)
Well, it will hook your sons and daughters
(You're so full of bull, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me

Misinformation Joe and Sam
Are feeding to the nation
But the one who didn't count counted them out
Exposing all their false quotations
Faced by a very awkward situation
This is all he'd have say to save the day

Well it's mean, evil, wicked and nasty
(Don't step on the grass, Sam)
And it will ruin our fair country
(Don't be such an ass, Sam)
Well, it will hook your sons and daughters
(You're so full of bull, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up you've already lost the fight alright)

You waste my coin Sam, all you can
To jail my fellow man
For smoking all the noble weed
You need much more than him
You've been telling lies so long
Some believe they're true
So they close their eyes to things
They have no right to do
Just as soon as you are gone
Hope will start to climb
Please don't stay around too long
You're wasting precious time

Well it's mean, evil, wicked and nasty
(Don't step on the grass, Sam)
And it will ruin our fair country
(Don't be such an ass, Sam)
Well, it will hook your sons and daughters
(You're so full of bull, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up you've already lost the fight alright)

76. Makin' it Natural --Dr. Hook
I was so young when this song came out and burned itself into my brain -- in fact it was the FLIP side of the 45-rpm "Sylvia's Mother." Yep, I was young enough to want that 45! I'd say maybe 11. Never knew what pot was then and hadn't a clue about what "Panama Red" meant.

So here we go:

I'm gonna throw my grass out the window
Crumple up my papers too
and give away my speed 'cuz baby all I'll ever need is just a
little bit of love from you
and we'll be makin' it natural
ain't it just about time
that ol' stuff I was so keen on I no longer have to lean on cuz'
your love's enough to keep me high

Now if any of you heads want some Panama Red all you gotta do is reach out your hand
I'd trade my stash for just a little bit of cash to buy a simple gold wedding band
and we'll be makin' it natural
now don't you ask me how
it's been the cause of all my sorrow but I think I'll start tomorrow cuz' I sure could
use a hit right now

(whoo-weep weep wee wee deedle deedle dee dee doo do doo do doooooooodle-doo! and stuff)

I'm gonna throw it out the window (chorus: <Someday!>) give away my cocaine
Bust my spikes and flush a million mikes of acid right down the drain
and we'll be makin' it natural

82. Arlo Guthrie: "Coming into Los Angeles."
I actually got to see him sing this live in concert when I was a teen-ager, and it stuck in my mind...:smoke:

It was a double bill with Judy Collins. Wow. I thought she was lovely.:-)

93. Technically, that one's more about smuggling dope than smoking it.
There's an acid reference in there (something about "tripping on an escalator") but not really a pot smoking reference.

102. You're right. But at 14, I just assumed that he was referring to pot...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFbeIeuvI90


* * *

"The Buzz Feeling"

Well the man like general slinger
Sa live the life you love and love the life you live
Cause what is in my hart is design to give
But special request is to all back stabber should be stuck in asieve
When I and I smoke senisman give thanks and praise to the full causes whot


The buzz feeling lord
Well have you ever had the buzz feeling my sisthren
Have you ever had the buzz feeling
My brethren

Have you ever had the buzz feeling you take out you rizla
You start rolling seh three or five sheet me
Seh what you deeling with you take piece of cigarette
Start breaching open up you giangi bag you start
Sprinkling you stick out you tongue and you start fe licking
You lean against a speaker box take you matches lighting
Seh man have you ever had the buzz feeling



When your head is spinning you knees wobbling you belly rolling
And your eyes shutting fe you head would of blow off
Like a car engine most people in the dance dem start laughing
Some of them cannot explain mysterious feeling so you sit on de stair
Gaze pon de ceiling you hand pon you belly
You start fe rubbing a little after that you a little vomiting
So you run down the stairs like a streak of lightening you move
Through the crowd like you hustling you brethen
Shout you start reasoning about thing and time and the flat
Him move in the operatir play a tune them start bubbling
It make it even harder fe you passing as you reach out side start
Slow breathing you sit pon de wall and start thinking never again
Would I get that feeling dread



Well you head stop spinning you knees stop wobbling you belly stop roll
Start crave fe dumpling



You I dren shout you roll up a splif
Me I dren temptation it is graet but
Remember that funny feeling



But wen me seh you shouldn't rump with the general
Shouldn't rump with the general

Me seh don't rump with general
Don't play with the general
Don't fool with the general
Don't walk with the general
Don't talk with the general
Don't eat eith the general



:)

86. Lyrically: With A Little Help From My Friends - The Beatles
Edited on Fri Dec-05-08 02:31 AM by ellisonz
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me ?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.

Musically: Purple Haze: Jimi Hendrix

92. The Devil Went Down to Jamaica
The devil went to Jamaica, he was lookin' to sell some weed,
he was doin' fine, they were standin' in line,
it was excellent weed indeed.

When he came across this young man who was likewise peddlin' pot,
and the devil slid down the beach to the kid and said,
boy lemme tell ya what...

I guess you've kinda figured I'm a reefer head of course,
and after all this time I guess that I'm a connisuer's source.
Now your stuff smells OK, but this could tranquilize a horse,
I'll bet a million in cash against your stash,
'cause I think mines better than yours.

The boy said, My name's Johnny,
and you ain't smoked nothin yet,
one hit of this grass'll kick your ass,
you got yourself a bet.

Johnny, roll a ball of hash,
and make sure it's the bomb,
'cause the devil's got the kind of stuff they smoked in Vietnam!
You'll get a million smackaroos in cash if you can cope,
but if you can't the devil will get your dope!

The devil packed a bong with a little acapulco gold,
and resin flew from his fingertips as he fired up his bowl,
he filled that chamber all the way and he took a mighty hit,
as they passed it back and forth it gave them both a coughin' fit.

(Coughing)

When the bowl was finished Johnny said,
Hey man that stuff was great!
But fill your lungs with some of this,
and prepare to vegetate!

Cannibus Sativa, Sweet Mary Jane!
The devil's in the backyard fryin' his brain!
Zig-zag filled with a diggity-dang!
Hold on tight it'll hit ya like a tank!

The devil nodded off because he knew that he was stoned,
and he asked if he could buy an ounce of the stuff that Johnny owned.
Johnny said Devil just come on back,
if you ever wanna catch a buzz,
I done told you once you son of a bitch,
mines the best there ever was!

and they...

Fired up doobies one by one!
Ain't gonna stop till the bag is done!
Green as a bullfrog sticky as glue!
Granny do you get high Yes, I do!


Bake

107. I think by "dope" they meant marijuana. But if you're talking about freebasing, that song works.
And here's the original J.J. Cale version, just for the hell of it:
