Lyrics
Once I was happy I had a good wife
I had enough money to last me for life
then I met with a woman, we went on spree
She taught me to drink and smoke whiskey
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes is a blot on the whole human race,
A man is a monkey with one in his face
So gather round friends and listen dear brothers
thers a fire on the one end and a fool on the tether
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
You got any advice on the subject brother Darryl?
yes indeed
now listen dear neighbors
now listen dear friends
these are the words that they'll write at your ends
now these are the words they will write at your grave
"to women and whiskey here lies a poor slave"
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy they'll drive you insane
