Lyrics
Weed and hard liquor, y'see
Weed and hard liquor was the ruin of me
The sting in the tale was a blizzard of hail
That was all I could see
Weed and hard liquor was the ruin of me
Oh, little brother, do not do what I did
Keep hold of your wonder and your innocence, kid
For once you have peeked inside of that box
You can't just put back the lid
Oh, little brother, do not do what I did
Oh, little sister, do not follow my lead
I tried to be clever, I was dumb as can be
And I can't forget how these barbs of regret
Got their hooks into me
Oh, little sister, do not follow my lead
Weed and hard liquor, y'see
Weed and hard liquor was the ruin of me
From the tiniest drop, to a flood that won't stop
To a great roaring sea
Weed and hard liquor was the ruin of me
