Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane Cigarettes, whiskey 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 girl and we went on a spree She taught me to smoke and drink whiskey
Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane Cigarettes, whiskey and wild wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
And now I'm feeble and broken with age The lines on my face make a well written page I'm leaving this story, how sad but how true On women and whiskey and what they will do
Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane Cigarettes, whiskey 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 whiskey, here lies a poor slave Take warning, dear stranger, take warning, dear friend' Then write in big letters these words at the end
Cigarettes, whiskey and wild, wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane Cigarettes, whiskey and wild wild women They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
