"There's a fire in the hemp fields, the smoke it fills the sky,
In every town for miles around people are getting high,
God bless that careless field hand who went and kindled the blaze,
the cat is gone, turn the countryside on and we'll all be stoned for days."

written by Andy Kent after he read a news story about burning fields of hemp in Kentucky. I think it was recorded by Charlie Brown on his album
TETON TEA PARTY(?). I believe it was released on Folkways.
