"Wildwood Weed" is a 1974 hit song written by Don Bowman and recorded by Jim Stafford.

It didn’t take a genius to know what Wildwood Weed was about but the first time I heard it as an eight-year-old, an older neighbor had to tell me about it.

We thought it was kind of handy, Take a trip and never leave the farm!

Musically, the song takes its inspiration from The Carter Family's instrumental recording "Wildwood Flower".
