Earliest known version of this song dates from the 1870s:

COCAINE BILL AND MORPHINE SUE
Traditional


Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue
Strolling down the avenue two by two.

Refrain: Oh, honey
won't you have a little sniff on me,
Have a sniff on me,

Said Sue to Bill: "It'll do no harm,
If we both just have a little shot in the arm."

Said Bill to Sue: "I can't refuse,
'Cause there's no more kick in this darned ol' booze"

So they walked down first and they turned up main,
Looking for a place they could buy cocaine.

They came to a drugstore full of smoke,
Where they saw a little sign sayin' "No more coke"

Now in the graveyard on the hill,
Lies the body of Cocaine Bill.

And in a grave right by his side,
Lies the body of his cocaine bride.

All o' you cokies is a-gonna be dead
If you don't stop a-sniffin that stuff in your head.

Now where they went, no one can tell
It might have been heaven or it might have been ... SNIFF.”
