CIGAREETES, WHUSKY AND WILD, WILD WOMEN
Words and music by Tim Spencer
Recorded by The Sons Of The Pioneers, 1947.CHORUS: [G] Cigareetes and whusky and [C] wild, wild [G] Women,
They'll drive you crazy; they'll [A] drive you in-[D] sane. [A] [D]
Ciga-[G] reetes and whusky and [C] wild, wild [G] women,
They'll drive you crazy; they'll [D] drive you in-[G] sane.[G] Once I was happy and [C] had a good [G] wife.
I had enough money to [A] last me for [D] life. [A] [D]
I [G] met with a gal and we [C] went on a [G] spree.
She started me smokin' and [D] drinkin' whus-[G] ky. CHORUSNow I am feeble and broken with age.
The lines on my face make a well-written page.
I'm leavin' this message, how sad but how true
On women and whusky and what they can do. CHORUSWrite on the cross at the head of my grave:
"For women and whusky here lies a poor slave.
Take warning, dear stranger; take warning, dear friend."
Then write in big letters these words at the end: CHORUS
