Thirty days, Lord, and thirty nights
I'm coming home on an airplane flight
Mama waiting at the ticket line
Tell me son, why do you stand there cryin'?
It was the needle and the spoon
Took a trip, yeah to the moon
It'll take you away
Lord it gon' bury you boy
I've been feeling so sick inside
Got to get better, Lord, before I die
Some of the doctors couldn't help my head, they said
You'd better quit, son, before you're dead
Don't mess with the needle, or the spoon
Take a trip yeah, to the moon
It'll take you away
Lord, they gon' bury you boy
Was the needle and the spoon
I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool
But then again, Lord, I've seen a lot of fools
I hope your people, Lord, can hear what I sing
You'll have your chance to stick it some day
Don't mess with a needle or a spoon
Take a trip yeah, to the moon
It'll take you away
Lord, they're gon' bury you boy
I know, I know
The needle or the-
Oh, don't mess with the needle or the spoon

Thirty days, Lord, and thirty nights
I'm coming home on an airplane flight
Mama waiting at the ticket line
Tell me son, why do you stand there cryin'?
It was the needle and the spoon
Took a trip, yeah to the moon
It'll take you away
Lord it gon' bury you boy
I've been feeling so sick inside
Got to get better, Lord, before I die
Some of the doctors couldn't help my head, they said
You'd better quit, son, before you're dead
Don't mess with the needle, or the spoon
Take a trip yeah, to the moon
It'll take you away
Lord, they gon' bury you boy
Was the needle and the spoon
I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool
But then again, Lord, I've seen a lot of fools
I hope your people, Lord, can hear what I sing
You'll have your chance to stick it some day
Don't mess with a needle or a spoon
Take a trip yeah, to the moon
It'll take you away
Lord, they're gon' bury you boy
I know, I know
The needle or the-
Oh, don't mess with the needle or the spoon
