I got a reefer headed woman
She fell right down from the sky
(Good Lord)
Woh…I got a reefer head a woman
She fell right down from the sky

Well, I gots to drink me a two fifths of whiskey
Just to get half as high

When the good Lord made that woman
He sure went to town
Oooh…when the good Lord made that woman
He sure went to town

Well, when he was feelin’ high
Oooh…he sure should have been feelin’ low

Oh Mr. Perry!

I got a reefer headed woman
Lord…she fell right down from the sky
Uuum…got a reefer headed woman
She fell right down from the sky

Lord, I gots to drink me two fifths of whiskey
Just to get, just to get, half as high
