A Weed Is A Weed
C F Bb F
Ah, when I was a boy I was wild I was lazy
C
I was the shame of my dad
F Bb F
Yes, the women and the wine, they were drivin' me crazy
C F
It was so good to be bad

And I got a job runnin' cheap bootleg whiskey

Down on the Arkansas line

From Memphis to Pine Bluff in a hopped up ole Jimmy

I had to be out of my mind
Chorus:
Bb F
Well, you'll know the crop by the seeds that are sowed
C
Do all your plantin' with care
Bb F
Water and ground will make anything grow
C F
But a weeds still a weed anywhere

I met a girl in a bar down in Memphis

She was the good lookin' kind

She told me how she was drawn to the misfits

Trouble was all I did find
Verse 1 + Chorus
