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
