VERSE 1
CWildwood flower grew Amwild on the farm.
And we Gnever knowed what it was Ccalled
CSome said it was a flower and Amsome said it was a weed
GI didn't give it much Cthought
COne day I was out there C7talkin' to my brother
And I Freached down for a weed to chew Con
CThings got fuzzy and Amthings got blurry
And Gthen ev'rything was Cgone

VERSE 3
CThe very next day we picked a Ambunch of them weeds
GAnd put 'em in the sun to Cdry
CThen we mashed 'em up and we Amcleaned 'em off
And we Gput 'em in the corn cob Cpipe
CSmokin' them wildwood C7flowers got to be
A habit, FWe never seen no Charm
CWe thought it was kind-a Amhandy
To take a Gtrip and never leave the Cfarm

VERSE 4
CAll good things got to Amcome to an end
GIt's the same with the wildwood Cweeds
COne day this feller from AmWashington come by
And Gspied one and turned white as a Csheet
CAnd they dug and they burned and they C7burned and they dug
And they Fkilled all our cute little Cweeds
CThen then they drove away and Amwe just smiled and waved
NC
Sittin' thar on that sack o' seeds
