Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the audio track of Woody Guthrie performing the Cocaine Blues in honor of the fact that on October 3, 1967, American singer, songwriter Woody Guthrie died after suffering from Huntington's Chorea disease.

"Cocaine Blues" is a Western Swing song written by T. J. "Red" Arnall
Lyrics
"Everytime my baby and me go up town
Police come and they knock me down
Cocaine, all around my brain

Hey baby, better come here quick
This old cocaine is making me sick
Cocaine, all around my brain

Yonder comes by baby, she's dressed in red
She's got a shot-gun, says she's gonna kill me dead
Cocaine, all around my brain

Hey baby, better come here quick
This old cocaine is making me sick
Cocaine, all around my brain
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/t-j-arnall/-/cocaine-blues.html]

Early one morning, half past four
Cocaine came knockin' on my door
Cocaine, all around my brain

Hey baby, you better come here quick
This old cocaine is making me sick
Cocaine, all around my brain

Cocaine's for horses and it's not for men
Doctor said it kill you, but he don't say when
Cocaine, all around my brain

Hey baby, you better come here quick
This old cocaine is making me sick
Cocaine, all around my brain"

Here is the original version
