Devil Weed |
| The buds they bloom with a pungent scent |
| They often cause much merrimet |
| You can’t get sick or addicted at all |
| Like you can with tobacco and alcohol |
| The history books they tell it plain |
| Queen Victoria took it for her period pain |
| Oh Lord! |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| When you compare growing it with cotton |
| You don’t have to put any chemicals on |
| It holds the soil together a lot |
| And some of us like to call it pot |
| I got jeans and a jacket and even hemp shoes |
| But you won’t see me smoking them on the news |
| Lord! |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| Yeah… |
| It grows long and tough, a little water is enough |
| It takes anywhere and it cleans the air |
| It makes fine rope, cloth and paper too |
| It saves the trees for me and you |
| A law was passed making everyone to sow it |
| Even Jefferson and Washington grew it |
| Oh Lord! |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| The buds they bloom with a pungent scent |
| They often cause much merrimet |
| You can’t get sick or addicted at all |
| Like you can with tobacco and alcohol |
| The history books they tell it plain |
| Queen Victoria took it for her period pain |
| Oh Lord! |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| Such a lot from one little seed |
| And they outlaw it and call it devil weed |
| Devil weed |
| Devil weed |
