Willie Nelson - Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[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 death
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
