	Story Behind the Song The neighbor lady and my Dad both told me this story but they both had slightly different versions...I figure since two different people told this story to me at two different times, then their must be some truth the the story. My grandmother was a very good story teller so I decided I wanted to see if I could tell a story...I decided to tell this one. Lyrics The Dope Fiend Moans Written by Archie F. Bowen Let me tell you this story Let me tell you this story Have you ever heard the story that's never been told? Let me tell you this story They all moved down to the river They all moved down to the river And they were plantin' their seed And they was plantin' their seed All along the river bed They was plantin' their seed Oh how it growed Oh how it growed Oh Oh Oh The Dope Fiend Moans Oh Oh The Dope Fiend Moans Cause the river's where he made his home There weren't nothing left alive along the riverside Everything was dead along the riverbed They was smokin' that marijuana Oh that marijuana Cause it grew and it thrived along the riverside Oh The Dope Fiend Moans Cause the river is where the dope fiend roams There tweren't ner jackrabbit left alive along the riverside There was just skattered piles of jackrabbit bones The Dope Fiend Moans There tweren't one squirrel ner rabbit or bird left alive along the riverside Cause the dope fiend's stoned There tweren't ner bird in the air Cause the rivers all dried up and the birds all skied up There was nothin' left there The only sound around was the swarmin' sound of flies Swarmin' all around the dried hides hangin' in the trees Oh The Dope Fiend Moans Oh the sorrow and the suffrin' along the riverside There was nothin' left alive They was all skin and bones along the river coughpuffcoughpuffcough
