Well my cousin Joe had a five string banjo 
    A                  E          A 
And me I had this ole flat top guitar 
     A 
We stayed up all night just a pickin' and a grinnin' 
    A               E       A 
We liked our music fast and hot

We played smokin' grass any place they'd let us 
A                    E        A 
Smokin' grass out behind the barn

Smokin' grass was our best habit 
     A       A       E        A 
Yeah we got high on smokin' grass

We played all night just to get the sound perfected 
     A                        E             A

One day we got a call said boys you've made the bigtime 
     A                         E    A 
They want you to play on that Opry stage

We stood there and played and the crowd went crazy 
     A                     E        A 
Our homegrown grass had become the rage
