Take A Whiff On Me: Lyrics
As performed by Cisco Houston
Traditional
Appears on:Chorus: Take a whiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me Everybody take a whiff on me Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Take a whiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me Everybody take a whiff on me Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me I got a woman six feet four Sleepin' in the kitchen with her feet in the door Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Two old maids a-fishin' in the creek Ain't caught a man since a-way last week Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Chorus: Want to get a woman let me tell you a word To grease your hair down as slick as lard Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me I'm a-walkin' down the road with my hat in my hand Lookin' for a woman needs a worried man Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Chorus: Walkin' down the road, the road's mighty muddy Slippin' and slidin' and I can't stand steady Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me I know my woman ain't a-treatin' me right She don't get a-home till the day gets light Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Chorus: Meet a lot of women out a-ramblin' around But the Boston women's the best I found Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Sing this song all night long Sing to my woman from midnight on Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Take a whiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me Everybody take a whiff on me Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Take a whiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me Everybody take a whiff on me Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me Take a whiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me Everybody take a whiff on me Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me
Of note:
A mysterious lyric to me, though I read that the whiff is about cocaine. If so, what else is? Fun and energetic, though Cisco is certainly the background vocalist on this. But good guitar, which I assume is his, makes this a pleasaat, if hardly remarkable, recording.
