The tune whose lines you quote is:


GRANNY WONTCHA SMOKE SOME MARIJUANA
As recorded by John Hartford on "Nobody Knows What You Do" (1976)

1. When it gets dry and you wanna get high,
I gotta clean them seeds just one more time.

CHORUS: Granny, woncha smoke some, Granny, woncha smoke some,
Granny, wontcha smoke some mari ju ana?
Granny, woncha smoke some, Granny, woncha smoke some,
Granny, wontcha smoke some mari ju ana?

2. Now, I used to sit around and sing about booze.
Now I sing about whatever I use. CHORUS

3. Now, you get the milk and I'll get the cookies.
We'll get high and do the boogie. CHORUS

4. Hey, Moe, light that bowl,
Smoke it down short and eat the roach. CHORUS

5. Gramps sittin' in the den smokin' a Havana.
Granny's out lookin' for some marijuana. CHORUS

6. Crying, down on my knees:
Get away, Granny; get away, please. CHORUS

7. Well, we used to get high and listen to the Beatles.
It ain't much fun now that it's legal. CHORUS


While probably not spot-on, this is the version that goes around at least once a year at the local jam.
