Cigarettes and Whisky and Wild Women

Spencer

Recorded by the Sons of The Pioneers 1947

Cigarettes and Whisky and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and Whisky and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane

Once I was happy and had a good wife
I had enough money to last me my life
Then I met a girl and we went on a spree
She started me smokin' and drinkin' Whisky

And now I am feeble & broken with age
The lines on my face make a well written page
I'm weavin' this story how sad and it's true
On women and Whisky and what they can do

They'll write on the cross at the head of my grave
For women and Whisky here lies a poor slave
Take warning dear friend, take warning dear friend

Then write with big letters these words at the end
