CIGARETTE BLUES
As recorded by Bo Carter, 1936.

1. Says, I come over here, sweet baby, 'cause I'm all alone.
Haven't got nobody just to carry my smokin' on.

CHORUS: Won't you just draw my cigarette, smoke it there all night long?
Just draw my cigarette, baby, until you make my good ashes come.

2. Now I got to go up the country, just to get my cigarette boil'.
The women 'round this place gonna let my cigarette spoil.

3. I come over here, sweet baby, just to get my ashes haul'.
Lord, the women at the other place gonna let my ashes fall.

4. Here's one thing I want you to know, 'fore you leave from home:
My cigarette ain't too big, and you know it ain't too long.
