CIGARETTES, WHISKEY AND WID, WILD, WOMEN
-(Tim Spencer) Recorded by the Sons of the Pioneers 1947
ONCE I WAS HAPPY AND HAD A GOOD WIFE
I HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO LAST ME FOR LIFE
THEN I MET A GAL AND WE WENT ON SPREE
SHE TAUGHT ME SMOKING AND DRINKING WHISKEY
(chorus) CIGARETTES, WHISKEY AND WILD, WILD WOMEN
THEY'LL DRIVE YOU CRAZY, THEY'LL DRIVE YOU INSANE (X2)
CIGARETTES ARE A BLIGHT ON THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE
A MAN IS A MONKEY WITH ONE IN HIS FACE
TAKE WARNING DEAR FRIEND, TAKE WARNING DEAR BROTHER
A FIRE'S ON ONE END, A FOOL ON THE OTHER
(chorus)
AND NOW GOOD PEOPLE, I'M BROKEN WITH AGE
THE LINES ON MY FACE MAKE A WELL WRITTEN PAGE
I'M WEAVING THIS STORY - HOW SADLY, BUT TRUE
ON WOMEN AND WHISKEY AND WHAT THEY CAN DO
(chorus)
WRITE ON THE CROSS AT THE HEAD OF MY GRAVE
FOR WOMEN AND WHISKEY HERE LIES A POOR SLAVE
TAKE WARNING POOR STRANGER, TAKE WARNING DEAR FRIEND
IN WIDE, CLEAR LETTERS THIS TALE OF MY END
(chorus)
