[Verse 1]

Well, I was down in the holler, feelin' down on my luck

I ran out of smack, I was all outta pluck

But then the shine of a spice caught my weary eye

I said to myself, "Well, why not give it a try?"

[Hook]

Yeah!

[Chorus]

So I'm free-basin' black pepper, gettin' high on the spice

Goin' up the mountain, feelin' oh so nice

I got the black pepper blues, ain't no pain in sight

Free-basin' all day and dancin' all night

[Hook]

Yeehaw!

[Verse 2]

Well I woke up this mornin', feelin' mighty low

Seems my stash of smack had nowhere to go

I searched high and low, but it just weren't there

So I turned to black pepper for my despair

[Bridge]

We're pickin' pepper, pickin' pepper, pickin' all day long gone

Gotta get that spicy kick, when the craving's too strong

With our banjos strummin' and our fiddles playin' too

We're havin' a pepper pickin' party, wooo-hoo-yeah

[Chorus]

So I'm free-basin' black pepper, gettin' high on the spice

Goin' up the mountain, feelin' oh so nice

I got the black pepper blues, ain't no pain in sight

Free-basin' all day and dancin' all night

I'm free-basin' all day and dancin' all night

[Hook]

Yeah!
