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

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
