('Now, won't you please, sing the whole song for me')
(Sing it!)

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
And ev'rybody take a whiff on me
Ha-ha, baby take a whiff on me

Went up Ellum
And I comed down Main
Tried to bum a nickel
Just to buy cocaine there, an-a ho-ho
Baby take a whiff on me

What I tell ya somethin's gonna
Make your mind tickelin'
Two bars a-coke, can't find bum nickel
An-a ha-ha, baby take a whiff on me

Now, you oughta see that pitchin' ol lamb
Just trade your dollar
And he gave 'em a heifer and a hoss
Baby take a whiff on me
(Save a whiff, save a good hoss for me)

Take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
An e'rybody take a whiff on me
And-a ho-ho, baby take a whiff on me
(Take a whiff, save a good hoss for me)

When I was down to the Dallas king boss
The judge he found me
A ten inch holster and a hoss
Baby, take a whiff on me

Take me down into the Dallas Jail
And they told me, boy I'll never bail there
An-a ho-ho, baby take a whiff on me
(Take a whiff, take a whiff on me)

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
An ev'rybody take a whiff on me
Ha-ha, baby take a whiff on me
(Don't finish, don't finish it)

When I'm married
Gonna buy me a line
Whup a-my baby
Just to change her mind
And let her ho-ho, baby take a whiff on me

When I'm married
Gonna buy me a rope
Gonna whip my baby
Til she Buzzard Loper
And a ho-ho, baby take a whiff on me

Take a whiff on me
Take a whiff on me
Said, ev'rybody take a whiff on me
And ho-ho, baby take a whiff on me
