Cigareets and whuskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
Cigareets and whuskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane

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

Cigareets and whuskey...

[ dobro ]

And now I'm feeble and broken with age

The lines on my face make a well written page

I'm leavin' this story how sad but how true

On women and whusky and what they will do

Cigareets and whuskey...

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
Cigareets and whuskey...
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
