[Verse 1]
ANow I'm a fellow with a heart of gold,
And the Dways of a gentleman I've been told,
Akind of a guy that wouldn't even Eharm a Aflea.
ABut if me and a certain character met,
the Dguy that invented the cigarette,
AI'd murder that son-of-a gun in the Efirst deAgree.
[Verse 2]
AIt ain't cause I don't smoke 'em myself,
and I Ddon't reckon that it'll hinder your health,
AI smoked 'em all my life, and I ain't Edead Ayet.
ABut nicotine slaves are all the same,
at a Dpettin' party or a poker game,
Aeverything gotta stop, while they Ehave a cigaArette.
[Chorus 1]
D7Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigareA7tte.
D7Puff, puff, puff until you smBoke yourself to deEath.
Tell St. APeter at the Golden Gate,

but you just Agotta have anEother cigaArette.
[Verse 3]
BbIn a game of chance the other night,
Old EbDame Fortune was good and right,

but my Ebbluff didn't work on a certain guy,

[Verse 1]

Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold,

And the ways of a gentleman I've been told,

kind of a guy 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.

It ain't cause I don't smoke 'em myself,

and I don't reckon that it'll hinder your health,

A E A

I smoked 'em all my life, and I ain't dead yet.

But nicotine slaves are all the same,

at a pettin' party or a poker game,

A E A

everything gotta stop, while they have a cigarette.

[Chorus 1]

D7 A7

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette.

See, he'd raise me, then I'd raise him,

and I'd say to him buddy, ya gotta sink or swim,

Bb F Bb

he finally called me but didn't raise the bet.

Hmmm..I said, Aces Full, pal..I got you!

a high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame.

so, hand in hand we strolled down lovers lane.

and our pettin' party was goin' real nice,

and I got an idea I might have been there, yet.

So I give her a kiss and a little squeeze,

Then she said, Travis, excuse me please,
