Jim Stafford - Wildwood Weed lyrics

rate me

<div class="showResultLinks">Wildwood flower grew wild on the farm<br />

And we never knowed what it was called<br />

Some said it was a flower and some said it was a weed<br />

I didn't give it much thought<br />

One day I was out there talkin' to my brother<br />

And I reached down for a weed to chew on<br />

Things got fuzzy and things got blurry<br />

And then ev'rything was gone<br />

Didn't know what happened but I knew it beat the hell<br />

Out of sniffing burlap<br />

<br />

I come to and my brother was there and he said, <br />

"What's wrong with your eyes?"<br />

I said "I don't know, I was chewin' on the weed"<br />

He said, "Let me give it a try"<br />

We spent the rest of that day and most of that night tryin'<br />

To find my brother Bill<br />

Caught up with him about six o'clock the next mornin'<br />

Naked, singing on the windmill<br />

He said he flew up there<br />

I had to fly up and get him down<br />

He was about half crazy<br />

<br />

The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds<br />

And put 'em in the sun to dry<br />

Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off<br />

Put 'em in the corn cob pot<br />

Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be a habit<br />

We never seen no harm<br />

We thought it was kind-a handy<br />

Take a trip and never leave the farm<br />

Big 'ole puff of that wildwood weed next thing you know<br />

You're just wand'ring 'round behind the little animals<br />

<br />

All good things got to come to an end<br />

It's the same with the wildwood weeds<br />

One day this feller from Washington come by<br />

And spied one and turned white as a sheet<br />

And they dug and they burned<br />

And they burned and they dug and they killed<br />

All our cute little weeds and then they drove away<br />

We just smiled and waved sittin' ther on that sack o' seeds<br />

<br />

"Y'all come back now, y'hear!"</
