Merle Watson - Smoke Smoke Smoke lyrics
rate meI'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
