about
Nashville songwriter Tim Spencer wrote this song in 1947 and recorded it with his group The Sons of the Pioneers, one of America's earliest and longest-surviving Western singing groups. They recorded the song under the title “Cigareetes, Whusky, and Wild, Wild Women” and the single peaked at No. #5 on the US Country Chart. The arrangement that appears on this album features a debaucherous four-part harmony. Picture a dusty old-time saloon where a group of half-cut patrons kick their boots, lope, and sing in drunken reverie.
lyrics
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
Once I was married I had a good wife
Had enough money to last me for life
Then I met a woman, we went on a spree
She taught me to drink and to smoke 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
Cigarettes are a blot on the whole human race
A man looks so silly with one in his face
Gather ‘round here and sing it with me brother
Cigarette on the one hand and a fool on the other
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
Mike Tod is a wry and raspy tenor that sings well-worn traditionals, researches their roots, and sets a precedent for a
sound that is both rooted in history and relevant to the present day. Told through a cinematic lens, he spins old songs into brooding epics that evoke the weathered landscapes of a western noir....more
