[Verse]
C
Well Uncle Bill was my Mothers Brother,
F
A tall lanky man
G C
But somewhere back in Uncle Bill's life, he took to sniffing cocaine.
I'd find him out in the back yard,
F
sitting against a tree.
G
His eyes bugged out in a cocaine stare,
C
and his mind in a cocaine dream.
C
Well one fall day when Uncle Bill was
F
having a cocaine fit,
G
He said Louise this dope's no good
C
and I've made up my mind to quit.
Now you take this key and I'll go upstairs and
F
then you lock the door,
G
and Lord I swear I'll stay up there,
C
till I don't want dope no more.
[Chorus]
F C F C
Well he stomped the floor and he beat the door and he moaned a mournful cry.
AM G DM G
When the last cocaine went through his brain we thought he'd surely die.
F C F C
He yelled and he cussed and he fell on the floor and we almost gave up hope
C F C
As long as I live I wont forget when Uncle Bill quit dope.
