Don't think it was Dillinger's reggae number, then, as I suspect that hadn't yet been recorded in the summer of '73.

Are you any nearer to nailing it down to one particular track, with all these suggestions to go at?

Have you tried going to allmusic.com and listen to the samples? You can search those artists we mentioned and then their songs, listen to the samples and maybe you´ll find out. Or try to youtube with the word "Cocaine"...

The song is likely, "Cocaine Blues".  Sadly, like the "House of the Rising Sun" finding any particular (old) version will be challenging. I have an old album (vinyl) which was a 'cut-out' version, but this was also a mess because Dave Mason's picture is on the front, but the rear is for something/someone entirely different (which is what the actual record was). One of the tracks lyrics went something like:

"Me and my baby are goin' downtown, looking for a little something to bring us down.  Cocaine, running all 'round my brain. You take Bealle Street, I'll take Main......."
