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
