I just heard a song that I haven't heard in years and had got to be one of the best songs about weed ever written. It's called "Henry" and is by a group called The New Riders of the Purple Sage who used to play a lot with the Grateful Dead back in the early '70's.

HENRY

EVâ??RY YEAR ALONG ABOUT THIS TIME IT ALL GOES DRY
THEREâ??S NOTHING ROUND FOR LOVE OR MONEY
THATâ??LL GET YOU HIGH
HENRY GOT PISSED OFF AND SAID HEâ??D RUN TO MEXICO
TO SEE IF HE COULD COME BACK HOLDINâ??
TWENTY KEYS OF GOLD

NOW THE ROAD TO ACAPULCO IS VERY HARD INDEED
AND IT ISNâ??T ANY BETTER IF YOU HAVENâ??T ANY WEED
HENRYâ??S DRIVING HARD AND STRAIGHT
ON TWISTY MOUNTAIN ROADS
THEREâ??S FIFTY PEOPLE WAITING BACK
AT HOME FOR HENRYâ??S LOAD

AND NOW HEâ??S ROLLINâ?? DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
GOING FAST, FAST, FAST
AND IF HE BLOWS IT THIS ONEâ??S GONNA BE HIS LAST
RUN TO ACAPULCO TO TURN THE GOLDEN KEYS
HENRY KEEP THE BRAKES ON FOR THIS CORNER IF YOU PLEASE

HENRY GOT TO MEXICO AND TURNED HIS TRUCK AROUND
HEâ??S TALKING TO THE MAN WHO HAS IT
GROWING FROM THE GROUND
HENRY TASTED, HE GOT WASTED, COULDNâ??T EVEN SEE
HOW HEâ??S GONNA DRIVE LIKE THAT IS NOT TOO CLEAR TO ME

AND NOW HEâ??S ROLLINâ?? DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
GOING FAST, FAST, FAST
AND IF HE BLOWS IT THIS ONEâ??S GONNA BE HIS LAST
RUN TO ACAPUCO TO TURN THE GOLDEN KEYS
HENRY KEEP THE BRAKES ON FOR THIS CORNER IF YOU PLEASE

SUNDAY AFTERNOON TIJUANA IS A LOVELY TOWN
BULLFIGHT BRINGS THE TOURISTS AND
THEIR MONEY FLOWING DOWN
THE BORDER GUARDS ARE MUCH TOO BUSY
THERE AT FIVE Oâ?? CLOCK
HENRYâ??S TRUCKINâ?? RIGHT ON THROUGH,
HE HARDLY EVEN STOPPED (REPEAT CHORUS)

Sorry 'bout the CAPS folks. That's how I found the lyrics and wasn't about to re-type them
