Wildwood Weed

In the style of

Jim Stafford

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
doin' real good

wildwood flower
grew wild
on the farm and
we never knowed
what it was called

some said
it's a flower
and some said
it's a 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 'em up
and we
cleaned 'em off
put 'em 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 ol' puff
of that
wildwood weed
next thing you know
you're just
wanderin' 'round
behind the
little animals

all good things
gotta come
to an end
it's the same with
the wildwood weed

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
heh
y'all come back now
ya hear
