Jimmy Dean - Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette lyrics

Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette Merle Travis/Tex Ritter 1. Now I'm a fella with a heart of gold - With the ways of a gentleman I've been told A kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea But if me and a certain character met - The guy that invented the cigarette I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree 2. It ain't that I don't smoke myself - And I don't reckon they'll hinder your health I've smoked them all my life and I ain't dead yet But nicotine slaves are all the same - At a pettin' party or a poker game Everythin's gotta stop while you have that cigarette Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette puff puff puff and if you smoke yourself to d**h Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate that you hate to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette 3. Now at a game of chance the other night - Ol' Dame Fortune was a doin' me right The kings and queens just kept on comin' round And I got a full and I bettet high - But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy He just kept a risin' and layin' his money down 4. He'd raise me and I'd raise him - And I sweated blood you gotta sink or swim He finally called and he couldn't raise the bet I said "aces full pal how about you" - He said "I'll tell you in a minute or two But right now I just gotta have another cigarette" Smoke smoke smoke... [ piano ] 5. Now the other night I had me a date - With the cutest little gal in the fifty states One of them highbred up-town fancy little dames She said she loved me and it seemed to me - That things were just about like they oughta be So hand in hand we strolled down Lover's Lane 6. She was oh so far from a chunk of ice - And our smoochin' party was a goin' real nice So help me Hannah and I think I'd of been there yet I give her a kiss and a little squeeze - And she said "would you excuse me please But I just gotta have another cigarette" Smoke smoke smoke... X 2 You just gotta have another cigarette
