[00:00.00]Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette - Tex Williams
[00:04.03]Now I'm a fella with a heart of gold
[00:05.88]The ways of a gentleman
[00:06.98]I've been told
[00:07.97]The kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea
[00:11.50]But if me and a certain character met
[00:13.18]That guy that invented that cigarette
[00:15.00]I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree
[00:19.20]'Cause I don't smoke myself
[00:20.99]And I don't reckon they'll harm your health
[00:23.16]I've smoked all my life and I'm not dead yet
[00:26.78]But nicotine slaves are all the same
[00:28.64]At a pettin' party or a poker game
[00:30.49]Everything's gonna stop while they smoke a cigarette
[00:34.52]Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
[00:38.48]Puff puff puff
[00:39.65]And if you smoke yourself to death
[00:41.92]Tell saint peter at the golden gate
[00:43.85]That you hate to make him wait
[00:46.03]You got to have another cigarette
[00:49.91]In a game of chance the other night
[00:51.62]Old dame fortune was doing me right
[00:53.83]The Kings and Queens just kept on coming round
[00:57.72]I got 'em fool and I bet 'em high
[00:59.27]But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy
[01:01.17]He kept on raisin' and layin' that money down
[01:05.27]Yeah he'd raise me and I'd raise him
[01:07.27]I sweated blood you gotta sink or swim
[01:08.79]He finally called but he didn't raise the bet
[01:12.40]I said aces full pal
[01:13.70]How 'bout you
[01:14.60]He said well I'm gonna tell you in a minute or two
[01:16.42]But right now I just got to have myself a cigarette
[01:20.54]Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
[01:24.47]Puff puff puff
[01:25.65]And if you smoke yourself to death
[01:27.86]Tell saint peter at the golden gate
[01:29.71]That you hates to make him wait
[01:31.97]You gotta have another cigarette
[01:52.12]The other night I had me a date
[01:53.67]With the cutest little gal in the 48 states
[01:55.88]A high bred up-town fancy little dame
[01:59.58]She said she loved me
[02:00.54]And it seemed to me
[02:01.39]That things were about like they oughtta be
[02:03.14]So hand in hand we strolled down lover's lane
[02:07.25]She was oh so far from a cake of ice
[02:09.37]Our smoochin' party was going real nice
[02:11.24]So help me hannah I think I'd've been there yet
[02:14.94]But I'd give her a kiss and a little squeeze
[02:16.84]And she said excuse me please
[02:18.67]But I just got to have a filter cigarette
[02:22.92]Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
[02:26.89]Puff puff puff
[02:28.07]And if you puff yourself to death
[02:30.37]Tell saint peter at the golden gate
[02:32.26]That you hate to make him wait
[02:34.54]You got to have another cigarette
