Wildwood Weed
In the style of
Lyrics
the name of this song is the wildwood flower
now the wildwood flower is an old country classic
it's gained a whole new popularity
the song isn't any more popular
but the flower's doing real good
wildwood flower grew wild on the farm
and we never knowed what it was called
some said it's was flower
and some said it's was weed
i didn't give it much thought
one day i was out there talkin' to my brother
and i reached down for a weed to chew on
things got fuzzy and things got blurry
and then everything was gone
didn't know what happened
but i knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap
i come to and my brother was there
and he said "what's wrong with your eyes"
i said "i don't know i was chewin' on a weed"
and he said "well let me give it a try"
i spent the rest of that day
and most of that night
tryin' to find my brother bill
caught up with him
'bout six o'clock the next mornin'
naked singin' on the windmill
he said he flew up there
i had to fly up and get him down
he was about half crazy
the very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds
and we put them in the sun to dry
then we mashed them up
and we cleaned them off
put them in the corncob pipe
smokin' them wildwood flowers
got to be a habit
we never seen no harm
we thought it was kinda handy
take a trip and never leave the farm
big ole puff of that wildwood weed
next thing you know you're just
wonderin' 'round behind the little animals
all good things gotta come to an end
it's the same with the wildwood weeds
one day this feller from washington
come by spied one and turned white as a sheet
and they dug and they burned
and they burned and they dug
and they killed all our cute little weeds
and then they drove away
we just smiled and waved
sittin' there on that sack of seeds
ya'll come back now ya hear
