Here are the words to Wildwood Weed by Jim Stafford. I personally think this is the best one yet, but then I like funny shit! LOL Jim WILDWOOD WEED [C] The wildwood flower grew [Am] wild on the farm and we [G] never knowed what it was [G] called. Some said it was flower. [Am] Some said it was a weed. [G] I didn't give it much [C] thought. [C] One day I was out there [C7] talking to my brother, and I [F] reached down for a weed to chew [C] on, And things got fuzzy, and [Am] things got blurry, and [G] then everything was [C] gone. I didn't know what [Am] happened, but I knew it beat the [G] hell out of sniffin' [C] burlap. [C] I came to and my [Am] brother was there and he said, "Boy, [G] what's wrong with your [C] eyes?" I said, "I don't know. I was [Am] chewing on a weed." He said, [G] "Let me give it a [C] try." [C] We spent the rest of that day and [C7] most of that night trying to [F] find my brother [C] Bill. Caught up with him about [Am] six o'clock the next morning, [G] naked sitting on the [C] windmill. Said he flew up there. [Am] I had to climb up and get him down. [G] He was about half [C] crazy. [C] The very next day we picked a [Am] bunch of them weeds and [G] put 'em in the [C] sun to dry. Then we mashed 'em up and [Am] cleaned 'em up, and put 'em in a corncob [C] pipe. [C] Smoking them wildwood [C7] flowers got to be a habit and [F] we never seen no [C] harm. We thought it was kind of [Am] handy, take a [G] trip and never leave the [C] farm. A big old puff of that wildwood weed, [Am] next thing you know, you're wanderin' [G] around behind the little [C] animals. [C] All good things got to [Am] come to an end. It's the [G] same with our wildwood [C] weeds. One day this feller from [Am] Washington came by and [G] spied 'em, and turned white as a [C] sheet. [C] Well, they dug and burned and they [C7] burned and dug and they killed all of [F] our cute little [C] weeds. Then they drove away. [Am] We just smiled and waved, [G] sittin' there on that sack of [C] seeds. [G] Y'all come hack now, ya [C] hear!
