Merle Watson - Smoke Smoke Smoke lyrics

rate me

I'm a guy with a heart of gold<br />

The ways of a gentleman I've been told<br />

The kind of guy who'd never harm a flea<br />

<br />

Me and a certain character met<br />

Man who invented the cigarette<br />

I'd murder that son of a gun in first degree<br />

<br />

It ain't 'cause I don't smoke myself<br />

And I don't figure it'll ruin my health<br />

I've been smoking 'em all my life, ain't dead yet<br />

<br />

But nicotine slaves are all the same<br />

And pettin', party or a poker game<br />

Every thing's gotta stop while I smoke that cigarette<br />

<br />

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette<br />

Puff, puff, puff and if you puff yourself to death<br />

Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate<br />

Lord, you hate to make him wait<br />

You gotta have another cigarette<br />

<br />

Game of chance, the other night<br />

Old dame fortune was doing me right<br />

The Kings and Queens kept on coming round<br />

<br />

Now I drew a full, abetted high<br />

My bluff didn't work on a certain guy<br />

Kept on betting, layin' his money down<br />

<br />

He'd raise me and I'd raise him<br />

Sweated blood, you gotta sink or swim<br />

Finally called, then didn't raise the bet<br />

<br />

I said, "Aces full, pal, how 'bout you?"<br />

He said, "I'll tell you in a minute or two<br />

Right now I'm gonna light up another cigarette"<br />

<br />

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette<br />

Puff, puff, puff and if you puff yourself to death<br />

Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate<br />

Oh, Lord, you hate to make him wait<br />

You gotta have another cigarette<br />

<br />

The other night, I had a date<br />

With the cutest girl in the forty-eight states<br />

Regular fancy kinda dame<br />

<br />

Said she loved me, seemed to me<br />

Things going the way it is supposed to be<br />

Hand in hand, we was strolling down Lover's Lane<br />

<br />

She's, oh, so far from a keg of ice<br />

Our pettin' party was going nice<br />

So help me, Hannah, I haven't been there yet<br />

<br />

But I gave her a hug, gave her a squeeze<br />

She said, "Cody, excuse me please<br />

But could I palm one of your cigarettes?"<br />

<br />

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette<br />

Puff, puff, puff and if you puff yourself to death<br />

Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate<br />

Now Lord, hate to make him wait<br />

But you gotta have one more cigarette<br />

<br />

Life ain't nothing but a poker game<br />

No two hands quite the same<br />

But I never saw a winner that didn't bet<br />

<br />

So if any people tryin' to quit<br />

I ain't gonna criticize you one bit<br />

I'm gonna change my kind of cigarette<br />

<br />

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette<br />

Puff, puff, puff and if you puff yourself to death<br />

Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate<br />

Lord, you hate it to make him wait<br />

But you gotta have one more cigarette
