Key Of C 
 
 
     C  
THE WILDWOOD FLOWER GREW WILD ON THE FARM 
       G                        C  
AND WE NEVER KNOWED WHAT IT WAS CALLED 
     C              
SOME SAID IT WAS FLOWER, SOME SAID IT WAS A WEED 
G                     C  
I DIDN'T GIVE IT MUCH THOUGHT 
    C 
ONE DAY I WAS OUT THERE TALKING TO MY BROTHER 
      F                          C  
AND I REACHED DOWN FOR A WEED TO CHEW ON 
C 
THINGS GOT FUZZY AND THINGS GOT BLURRY 
         G              C 
AND THEN EVERYTHING WAS GONE 
C 
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED 
                       G                       C 
BUT I KNEW IT BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SNIFFIN' BURLAP 
 
 
I CAME TO AND MY BROTHER WAS THERE 
AND HE SAID BOY 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 
WE SPENT THE REST OF THAT DAY  
AND MOST OF THAT NIGHT TRYING TO 
FIND MY BROTHER BILL 
CAUGHT UP WITH HIM ABOUT SIX O'CLOCK THE NEXT MORNING 
NAKED SITTING ON THE WINDMILL 
SAID HE FLEW UP THERE 
I HAD TO CLIMB UP AND GET HIM DOWN, HE WAS ABOUT HALF CRAZY 
 
THE VERY NEXT DAY WE PICKED A BUNCH OF THEM WEEDS 
AND PUT EM IN THE SUN TO DRY 
THEN WE MASHED 'EM UP AND CLEANED 'EM UP 
AND PUT 'EM IN A CORNCOB PIPE 
SMOKING THEM WILDWOOD FLOWERS GOT TO BE A HABIT 
AND WE NEVER SEEN NO HARM 
SIDES, WE THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF NEAT 
TAKE A TRIP AND NEVER LEAVE THE FARM 
A BIG OLD PUFF OF THAT WILDWOOD WEED 
NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU'RE WANDERIN' AROUND BEHIND THE LITTLE ANIMALS 
 
WELL ALL GOOD THINGS GOT TO COME TO AN END 
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 
WELL THEY DUG AND BURNED AND THEY BURNED 
AND DUG AND THEY KILLED ALL OF OUR CUTE LITTLE WEEDS 
THEN THEY DROVE AWAY, WE JUST SMILED AND WAVED 
SITTIN THERE ON THAT SACK OF SEEDS
