Willie Nelson - Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) lyrics

[Verse 1] Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold With the ways of a gentleman I've been told A kind of a fellow that wouldn't even harm a flea But if me and a certain character met That guy that invented the cigarette I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree That ain't that I don't smoke myself And I don't reckon they'll injure your health I've smoked them all my life and I ain't dead yet But nicotine slaves are all the same At a pheasant party or a poker game Everything's got to stop when they have that cigarette [Chorus] 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 got to have another cigarette [Verse 2] Now at a game of chance the other night Old Dame Forson wasn't doing me right Them kings and queens just kept on coming round Well I got a full and I bet it high But my plug didn't work on a certain guy He just kept a rising and a laying that money down He's raise me and I'd raise him I sweated blood I had to sink or swim He finally called and he didn't raise the bet I said "aces is full pal how about you?" He said "I'll tell you in a minute or two But I just got to have another cigarette" [Chorus] [Verse 3] The other night I had a date with The cutest girl in the fifty states A highbred uptown social little dame She said she loved me and it seemed to me That things were like they ought to be So hand in hand we strolled down Lover's Lane She was oh so far from a chunk of ice And our smooching party was a going real nice So help and I think I'd've been there yet But I give her a hug and a little squeeze And she said "Willie excuse me please But I just got to have another cigarette" [Chorus] [2x] [Outro] Just got to have another cigarette
