Chris Whitley Poison Girl Lyrics

Poison Girl Lyrics

Moonlight over the alley

Baby, where I come from

There's a poison girl, poison girl



Sister do medicine business

Three dollar down for the gun

She's a poison girl, poison girl



I be waiting uptown

While she gone underground for a ride

I be waiting uptown

While she passes some trick on the side



Well, I'm sitting here burning my money

It worth nothing if only to score

With that poison girl, poison girl



There's a place and I know

Anybody can go for their price

There's a place and I know

You be putting your soul up on ice



Well, well, mama said, "Son, what is your hurry?"

Mama did not even know what I have done

For that poison girl, poison girl
