Lyrics:

Once I was happy and had a good wife
I had enough money to last me my life
Then I met a girl, we went on a spree
She taught me smokin' and drinkin' whiskey
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane

Now I am feeble, broken with age
The lines on my face make a well written page
Weaving this story, it's sad and it's true
Women and whiskey and what they can do
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane

They'll write on the cross at the head of my grave
'For women and whiskey, here lies a poor slave'
Take warning dear friend, for these words are true
Of women and whiskey and what they can do
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
They'll leave you in heartbreak, they'll leave you in pain
