Poison Girl

Chris Whitley

Moonlight over the alley

Baby, where I come from

There's a poison girl, poison girlSister do medicine business

Three dollar down for the gun

She's a poison girl, a poison girlI'll be waiting uptown

While she gone underground for a ride, yeah

I'll be waiting uptown

While she passes some trick on the sideWell, I'm sitting here burning my money

Worth nothing if only to score

With some poison girl, a poison girl - okThere's a place and I know

Anybody can go for a price yeah

There's a place and I know

You'll be putting your soul upon iceWell, now, mama said, "Son, what's your hurry?"

Mama don't know what I done

For the poison girl, the poison girl
