A Weed Is A Weed Chords & Lyrics - Mickey Newbury

[C]Ah, when [F]I was a boy I was [Bb]wild I was [F]lazy
I was the shame of my d[C]ad
Yes, the [F]women and the wine, they were [Bb]drivin' me [F]crazy
It was so [C]good to be [F]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]
Well, [Bb]you'll know the crop by the [F]seeds that are sowed
Do all your plantin' with [C]care
[Bb]Water and ground will make [F]anything grow
But a weeds still a [C]weed any[F]where

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
