"Reefer Blues" lyrics

"Reefer Blues"

I get high all day, I feel fine all day
I'm a mellow mother for you, baby, baby, don't you know?
Well I like to smoke my reefer, lord I smoke it everywhere I go

Mope around all day, feeling down all day
You gotta do yourself a favor gotta chase all your blues away
Well now you gotta smoke your reefer you gotta make a change today
Well now you take a little puff well you know that you're gonna get high
Well now you take two hits well now you know you're just as high as the sky
You gotta get a little reefer from your local dealer by and by

Mope around all day
Feeling down all day
You gotta do yourself a favor gotta chase all your blues away
Well now you gotta smoke a reefer you've gotta have a change today
Well you take two puffs well you know that you're gonna get high
Well now it don't make a difference just as long as you're as high as the sky
You gotta get a little reefer from your local dealer by and by
