Bales Of Cocaine by Reverend Horton Heat
Bales Of Cocaine
C F C
Well, I was workin' on my farm 'bout Nighteen Eighty Two
C G
Pullin' up some corn and a little carrot, too
C F C
When two low-flying airplanes, 'bout a hundred feet high
C G C
Dropped a bunch o' bales o' somethin', some hit me in the eye...
So I cut a bale open, an' man was I surprised
Bunch o' large sized baggies, with big white rocks inside
So I took a little sample to my crazy brother Joe
He sniffed it up and kicked his heels, said, "Horton, that's some blow!"
Chorus:
C F C
Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
C G
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
C F C
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like the pourin' rain
C G C
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes
So I loaded up them bales in my pick-em-up truck,
Headed west for Dallas, where I would try my luck
I didn't have a notion if I could sell 'em there,
But, thirty minutes later, I was a millionaire...
Chorus:
Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like the pourin' rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes
And now I am a rich man, but I'm still a farmer, too
But I sold my farm in Texas, bought a farm down in Peru
And when get so homesick, I think I'm goin' insane,
I travel back to Texas in a low-flyin' plane...
Chorus:
Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like the pourin' rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes
