CIGAREETS WHUSKY AND WILD WILD WOMEN

CHORUS: Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women,
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women,
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane.

1. Once I was happy and had a good wife.
I had enough money to last me for life.
Then I met with a gal and we went on a spree.
She taught me smoking and drinking whiskey. CHORUS

2. 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 on one end a fool on the other. CHORUS

3. And now good people, I'm broken with age.
The lines on my face make a well-written page.
I'm weavin' this story, how sadly but true,
On women and whiskey and what they can do. CHORUS

4. 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
