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 The kind of a
feller' 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. Now it aint cuz I don't smoke myself - And I
don't reckon they 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 death 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 they just kept on comin' round And I got a
full and I bet it high - But my bluff didn't work
on a certain guy He just kept on a risin' and
layin' the 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
then didn't raise the bet I said Aces full pal how
about you? - He said I'll tell you in just a
minute or two But right now I just gotta have
another cigarette"

Chorus

5. The other night I had a date - With the cutest
little gal in the forty eight states A high bred
up-town fancy little dame 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 Tex
excuse me please But I just gotta have another
cigarette

Chorus
