Karaoké Wildwood Weed Jim Stafford

Name of this song is the Wildwood Flower

Now the Wildwood Flower's an old country classic

It's gained a whole new popularity

The song isn't any more popular but the flower is doin' real good

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

Some said it's a flower 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

He said 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 about six o'clock the next mornin' naked, singin' on the wind mill

He said he flew up there

Had to fly and get him down

He was about half crazy

The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds and we put 'em in the sun to dry

And we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off and put 'em in the corncob pipe

Smokin' that wildwood flower's 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 and it's the same with the wildwood weeds

One day this feller from Washington came by and spied 'em and turned white as a sheet

And he dug and he burned and he burned and he dug

And he killed all our cute little weeds

Then he drove away

We just smiled and waved

Sittin' there on that sack of seeds

Y'all come back now ya hear
