Lyrics

Reefer Dan

Verse: The sky glowed red as the sun was setting
Shadows were creeping across the ground
It was under the bridge, by the last dry pylon
That's where his crumpled body was found....

Reefer Dan, Reefer Dan such a good old reefer man,
With his sweet maryjane, he sure did earn his name

Friday night down on the corner, he's the man you want to meet
He's got what you want, he's got what you need.

BR. Let me tell you when this town was dry,
Oh brother he could keep you high
Now that he's gone,
We got to find another way to carry on

Reefer Dan, Reefer Dan, such a good old reefer man,
With his sweet maryjane, he sure did earn his name

He went down to the river, just to find a little piece of mind
Take the edge off, didn't expect a crime

The word on the street is Dan wouldn't pay that graft
The cops couldn't catch him, but someone got him at last

BR.

Reefer Dan, Reefer Dan, such a good old reefer man,
With his sweet maryjane, he sure did earn his name

Give me one, give me two give me three little bags of gold
One for may baby, two more for the road

Forget the rent, baby I'll live in a tent
Cause papa ain't so salty, when his head gets bent (3X)
