I have been careful to reproduce the spelling and punctuation exactly as given. I was hoping to get the definitive lyrics, but see the note below.

CIGAREETES, WHUSKY AND WILD, WILD WOMEN
Tim Spencer, 1947

1. Once I was happy and had a good wife;
I had enough money to last me for life.
I met with a gal, and we went on a spree;
She taught me to smoke and drink whusky.

CHORUS: Cigareetes and whusky and wild, wild women,
They'll drive you crazy; they'll drive you insane.
Cigareetes and whusky and wild, wild women,
They'll drive you crazy; they'll drive you insane.

2. Now I am feeble and broken with age;
The lines on my face make a well-written page.
I'm leaving this story, how sad but how true,
On women and whusky and what they will do. CHORUS

3. 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

[From the sheet music in "The Reader's Digest Country and Western Songbook," 1983. The notes refer to a "second verse" that is "usually left out of recordings." Then it says, "all three verses are included here."—but I wonder if this is a mistake, and the "second verse" is actually the one that Louie Roy posted above (which is also in the DT)? –JD]
