Cigarette Blues transcript
- Cigarettes, they are killers.
- It's the only sculpture that was ever created by Louis Bunce, the prominent West coast artist. Who smoked every cigarette in that sculpture himself and who died just last year of lung cancer. One of Bunce's last requests was that sculpture be given to the American Cancer Society and displayed so that people could see it and think about what they were doing to themselves when they smoked cigarettes. ♪ I loved a woman ♪ ♪ But she got cancer from smokin' cigarettes ♪ ♪ I loved a woman ♪ ♪ But she got cancer from smokin' cigarettes ♪ ♪ I tried my best to discourage her ♪ ♪ But she never heard a word I said ♪ ♪ She woke up one mornin' coughin' ♪ ♪ She thought she had a cold ♪ ♪ Oh she thought she had a cold ♪ ♪ But after years of smokin' cigarettes ♪ ♪ Her lungs was about to fold ♪
- The blues have haunted me. The blues have comforted me. It makes me feel good. The Blues is, it's just like a religion. It's something that you can take out and preach to someone. It's like a preacher prepare for his Sunday sermon. I prepare for my nightly sermon that I have to go out and play for the people who come in. ♪ She's gone and may God bless her ♪ ♪ Wherever she may be ♪ ♪ Wherever she may be ♪ ♪ I won't have nothin' to do with another woman ♪ ♪ That pulls out another cigarette pack on me ♪
