1) Now I'm a fellar with a heart of gold With the ways of a gentleman I've been told
2) Now it ain't 'cause I don't smoke myself And I don't reckon that they hinder your health
3) In a game of chance the other night Old Dame Fortune was a-doing me right
4) Now he'd raise me I'd raise him I sweated blood you gotta sink or swim
5) Now the other night I had me a date With the cutest little gal in the fifty states
6) She was oh so far from a chunk of ice And our smooching party was going real nice
1) The kind of a fellar that wouldn't even harm a flea
2) I've smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet
3) Man the kings and queens just kept on coming around
4) He finally called didn't raise the bet
5) A highbred uptown fancy little dame
6) So help me Hanna I think I'd-a been there yet
1) But if me and a certain character met That guy that invented the cigarette
2) But nicotine slaves are all the same at a petting party or a poker game
3) Then I got a full and I bet it high But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy
4) I said aces full pal how about you He said well I'll tell you in just a minute or two
5) She said she loved me and it seemed to me That everything was about like it oughta be
6) Well I give her a kiss a little squeeze She said Hank excuse me please
1) I'd murder that son-of-a-gun in the first degree
2) Every thing's gotta stop while they smoke the cigarette
3) He just keep on raising and laying the money down
4) But right now I just gotta have myself a cigarette
5) So hand in hand we strolled down lover's lane
6) But I just gotta have myself a filter cigarette
That you
