"Wildwood Weed" is a 1964 country-western parody song written by Don Bowman. It was the first track on Side 1 of Bowman's debut LP, Our Man in Trouble..."It Only Hurts When I Laugh" (RCA Victor catalog numbers LSP-2831 (stereo) and LPM-2831 (monaural)). Its most famous version was recorded in 1974 by Jim Stafford and became the fourth of four U.S. Top 40 singles from his eponymous debut album. Musically, the song takes its inspiration from the Carter Family's recording "Wildwood Flower". In both versions, the lyrics in the verses are spoken rather than sung.
