Once i was happy and had a good wife I had enough money to last me my life Then i met a girl and we went on a spree She taught me smokin' and drinkin' whisky
Cigarettes and whisky and wild wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane Cigarettes and whisky and wild wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
And now i am feeble broken with age The lines on my face make a well written page I'm weavin' this story it's sad and it's true On women and whisky and what they can do
They'll write on the cross at the head of my grave For women and whisky here lies a poor slave Take warning dear friend, for these words are true Of women and whisky and what they can do
They'll leave you in heartbreak They'll leave you in pain
