I looked around and all up and down
I never wasted time on two or three
There's only one girl for me
There was a time she used to treat me fine
But lately she's been acting awful stoned
Makes a man weep alone

eye dee leeldle odle ay oo ee tee
eye dee oh lee tee

My Morphine be the death of me
You should have seen me and my Morphine
When we used to go dancing in the war

Spin me right off the floor
eye dee oh lay ee tee
eye dee leeldle odle ee odle ee tee
eye dee odle ee tee

My Morphine be the death of me
Morphine, Morphine, what made you so mean?
You never used to do me like you do
Where's that sweet gal i knew?

My Morphine be the death of me
My Morphine
