Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs live at the Opera House Australia, 1974.

Lyrics:

VERSE 1: Well, once I was happy and had a good wife

I had enough money to last me my life

And then I went on a wild women spree

They taught me to smoke and to drink rye whiskey

CHORUS: 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 leave you with heartbreak, they'll leave you with pain.

VERSE 2: I went down to Texas and walked down the street

I had a shirt on my back and shoes on my feet

But I met a young girl from down the levee

Well she taught me to smoke and to drink rye whiskey.

CHORUS

VERSE 3: Well, once I was happy and had a good wife

I had enough money to last me my life

And then I went on a wild women spree... you know

They taught me to smoke and to drink rye whiskey (sing it!)

CHORUS x 3

i'm singing this with my band and was just checking all the different versions. i just watched the Muppet one, but you're right, this one is so far the best. even better than Buck Owens.

He went to the U.K. back in (about) 1972 or 73 and, among other things, played at a club which had Led Zepplin playing there the week before and Billy and The Aztecs were asked to cut their performance volume. This may be true or not (re the club) but it made a good story here in Australia when Billy &co played in a small athletic stadium in Toowoomba and the best seating in the house was about 5 miles away in a hotel beer garden. That one made the local paper at the time.
