nurghophonic jukebox: "Old Fashioned Morphine" by Jolie Holland

Released: April 27, 2004
Album: Escondida
Single?: No

I was given a copy of local artist Jolie Holland's second album by a co-worker years ago. He was mostly into punk and subgenres like psychobilly, so it was odd that he'd introduce me to something so jazzy. Maybe she opened for somebody? Anyway, I was listening to Pacifica Radio the other day, and a standout track came on, so I figured I'd share while it was refreshed in my mind.



Lyrics:
Give me that old fashioned morphine
Give me that old fashioned morphine
Give me that old fashioned morphine
It's good enough for me

What it was good enough for my Grandpa
It was good enough for my Grandpa
It was good enough for my Grandpa
It's good enough for me

Sister don't get worried
Sister don't get worried
Sister don't get worried
Because the world is almost done

Give me that old fashioned morphine
Give me that old fashioned morphine
Give me that old fashioned morphine
It's good enough for me

It was good enough for Billy Boroughs
It was good enough for Billy Boroughs
It was good enough for Billy Boroughs
It's good enough for me

Sister don't get worried
Sister don't get worried
Sister don't get worried
Because the world is almost done

Give me that old fashioned morphine
Give me that old fashioned morphine
Give me that old fashioned morphine
It's good enough for me

It was good enough for Isabelle Eberhardt
It was good enough for Isabelle Eberhardt
It was good enough for Isabelle Eberhardt
It's good enough for me

Sister don't get worried
Sister don't get worried
Sister don't get worried
Because the world is almost done
