Cigareets, Whusky and Wild, Wild Women

Sons Of The Pioneers · Riders in the Sky [Camden] [1973]

(Tim Spencer)



Chorus:

Cigareettes and whusky and wild, wild women

They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane

Cigareettes and whusky 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 started me smokin' and drinkin' whus key.



Chorus:

Cigareettes and whusky and wild, wild women

They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane

Cigareettes and whusky and wild, wild women

They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane.



Now I am feeble and broken with age

The lines on my face make a well-written page

I'm leavin this message; how sad but how true

On women and whuskey and what they can do.



Chorus:

Cigareettes and whusky and wild, wild women

They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane

Cigareettes and whusky and wild, wild women

They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane.



Write on the cross at the head of my grave

For women and whuskey here lies a poor slave

Take warning dear stranger, take warning dear friend

Then write in big letters these words at the end.



Chorus:

Cigareettes and whusky and wild, wild women

They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane

Cigareettes and whusky and wild, wild women

They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane...
