  SMOKE! SMOKE! SMOKE! THAT CIGARETTE

  Recorded by Tex Williams

  Words and music by Merle Travis and Tex Williams

  

  Now [A] I'm a fellar with a heart of gold

  With the [D7] ways of a gentleman, I've been told

  The [A] kind of a fellar that [E7] wouldn't even harm a [A] flea [E7]

  But if [A] me and a certain character met

  That [D7] guy that invented the cigarette

  I'd [A] murder that son-of-a-[E7] gun in the first de-[A] gree.

  

  Now, it ain't 'cause I don't smoke myself

  An' I [D7] don't reckon that they hinder your health

  I've [A] smoked 'em all my [E7] life and I ain't dead [A] yet! [E] 

  But [A] nicotine slaves are all the same

  At a [D7] pettin' party or a poker game

  Ev'ry-[A] thing's gotta stop while they [E7] smoke the ciga-[A] rette.

  

  CHORUS

  [D7] Smoke!, Smoke!, Smoke! that ciga-[A] rette

  [D7] Puff!, Puff!, Puff! it if you [B7] smoke yourself to [E7] death

  Tell Saint [A] Peter at the Golden Gate

  That you [D7] hates to make him [A] wait

  You've just gotta have an-[E7] other ciga-[A] rette.

  

  In a game of chance the other night

  Old Dame Fortune was a-doin' me right

  Man, the kings and queens just kept on comin' around

  Then I got a full and I bet it high

  But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy

  He just keep on raisin' and layin' the money down.

  

  Now, he'd raise me - I'd raise him

  I sweated blood - you gotta sink or swim

  He finally called - didn't raise the bet

  I said, "Aces full, Pal, how 'bout you?"

  He said, "Well, I'll tell you in just a minute or two

  But right now, I just gotta have myself a cigarette."

  

  CHORUS

  

  Now, the other night I had me a date

  With the cutest little gal in the forty-eight states

  A highbred, uptown, fancy little dame

  She said she loved me and it seemed to me

  That ev'rything was 'bout like it oughta be

  So hand in hand, we strolled down lover's lane.

  

  She was, oh, so far from a chunk of ice

  And our smoochin' party was goin' real nice

  So help me, Hanna, I think I'd-a been there yet

  Well, I give her a kiss - a little squeeze

  She said, "Tex, excuse me - please, but 

  I just gotta have another cigarette."

  

  CHORUS
