Subject: Lyr Add: WILDWOOD WEED (Jim Stafford, Don Bowman) From: Gene Date: 26 Jan 98 - 03:02 PM WILDWOOD WEED Words and music by Jim Stafford and Don Bowman As recorded by Jim Stafford on "Jim Stafford" (1974) Wildwood flower grew wild on the farm I come to and my brother was there The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds All good things got to come to end "Y'all come back now, y'hear!" |
Subject: Wildwood Weed From: whitesel@primenet.com Date: 17 Apr 99 - 04:23 AM I'm looking for the words to the song sung to the melody of Wildwood Flower by Jim Stafford a number of years ago. He called it Wildwood Flower, and it was typically Jim Stafford tongue-in-cheek.

The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm,
I come to and my brother was there,
The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds,
All good things gotta come to an end, Y'all come back now, hear? |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: Dale Rose Date: 17 Apr 99 - 04:14 PM At the moment I can't find confirmation, (though I have looked) but I would almost bet money that it was written by Don Bowman, though Jim Stafford performs it. |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: Gene Date: 17 Apr 99 - 04:55 PM How about if they co-wrote it? See BMI.... |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: Banjeray (inactive) Date: 17 Apr 99 - 07:45 PM Think Gend is right, I remember reading somewhere that Stafford and Bowman colaberated on several songs, this being one of them. |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: darjo Date: 17 Apr 99 - 09:54 PM I remember listening to that tune |

Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: John in Brisbane Date: 19 Apr 99 - 12:34 AM So how about the tune? I've tried Wildwood Flower, but it would take a pretty liberal interpretation. |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: LEJ Date: 19 Apr 99 - 12:44 PM Wow does that song take me back. Those were the days when pot was perceived as just good fun, and not the threat to civilization that it is today. We certainly have come a long way! LEJ |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: Dale Rose Date: 19 Apr 99 - 01:52 PM Tune is not really a factor. It is performed mostly as a recitation, with music in the background. At least that is the way Don Bowman did it. You have to give it a bit of hillbilly twang, too. |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: Banjeray (inactive) Date: 19 Apr 99 - 06:48 PM All seem to agree they have at one time or another heard the song, sung the song but does anybody remember doing the song? I can sure remember those days, haven't for quite some time, probably wouldn't anymore if I could, but unlike Bill Clinton who "Didn't inhale", I did.... Like LEJ said, it was considered fun back then.... |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: wilsone6@hotmail.com Date: 01 Dec 99 - 09:49 PM I also am looking for these lyrics. I know some but not all. If you find them, please share. |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: Dale Rose Date: 02 Dec 99 - 07:06 PM You must have missed them as you scanned down the page. Post #3 ~~ from Tiger. |
Subject: RE: Wildwood Weed From: GUEST,mom2justboys Date: 05 Mar 08 - 10:47 PM Thank you Gene. I have been searching all over for the Lyrics to this song. My grandfather in law used to sing it all the time. It was his favorite song. |
