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. CHORUS

Now 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. CHORUS

Write 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
