Wildwood flower grew wild on the farm.

Some said it was a flower and some said it was a weed
G C
I didn't give it much thought

One day I was out there talkin' to my brother
F C
And I reached down for a weed to chew on
C Am
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry
G C
And then ev'rything was gone

The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds

And we put 'em in the corn cob pipe

Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be
F C
A habit, We never seen no harm
C Am
We thought it was kind-a handy
G C
To take a trip and never leave the farm

C Am
All good things got to come to an end
G C
It's the same with the wildwood weeds
C Am
One day this feller from Washington come by
G C
And spied one and turned white as a sheet
C C7
And they dug and they burned and they burned and they dug
F C
And they killed all our cute little weeds
C Am
Then then they drove away and we just smiled and waved
NC
Sittin' thar on that sack o' seeds
