about

Written for Ray Charles in 1966 by songwriting legends Ashford & Simpson. I laid the verses down in a slow stumble, that releases into a traditional 12/8 refrain.

lyrics

Let's go get stoned...Everybody...You know my baby, she won't let me in...I got a few pennies, I'm gonna buy myself a bottle of gin...And then I'm gonna call my buddy on the telephone and say, Let's go get stoned...I work so hard, on the job all day long...Everything I try to do, always seem to turn out wrong...That's why I wanna stop by, on my way home, and say, Lets go get stoned...Now let me tell you one more thing...It ain't no harm to have a little taste, but don't lose you cool, and start messin' up the man's place...It ain't no harm, just to take a little nip, but don't you fall down, You might bust your lip...Chorus
