"My Morphine" lyrics

"My Morphine"
(originally by Gillian Welch)

I looked around, I been all up and down
I never wasted time on two or three
There's only one girl for me
And there was a time she used to treat me kind
But lately she's been actin' awful stoned
It makes a man weep and moan

Eye dee oh lay ee tee
Eye dee leeldle odle ay oo ee tee
Eye dee oh lee tee
Lee tee
Deedle ohdle lee tee
My morphine will be the death of me

You should have seen me and my morphine
When we used to go dancing in the war
She'd spin me right off the floor
Morphine, morphine, what makes you so mean?
You never used to do me like you do
Oh, where's that sweet gal I knew?

Eye dee oh lay ee tee
Eye dee leeldle odle ee odle ee tee
Eye dee odle ee tee
Lee tee
Deedle odle lee tee
Well, my morphine will be the death of me
Oh, my morphine will be the death of me
