Once I was happy and had a good wife
I had enough money to last me my life
Then I met a girl and we went on a spree

She taught me smokin' and drinkin' Whisky

Cigarettes and Whisky and wild wild women

They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane
Cigarettes and Whisky and wild wild women
They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane


And now I am feeble broken with age
The lines on my face make a well written page

I'm weavin' this story it's sad and it's true
On women and Whisky and what they can do


They'll write on the cross at the head of my grave
For women and Whisky here lies a poor slave
Take warning dear friend, for these words are true

Of women and whisky and what they can do

They'll leave you in heartbreak

They'll leave you in pain
