Woman Who Smokes Cigars Songtext
von Spencer Thomas

Up on Frenchman down on Decatur
Told my buddies I′d catch 'em later
Float through the alley like a ghost
In the summer rain

Full of beer with two shots on top
Tried to hold it steady though I nearly dropped
Looking for someone to love
And erase her name

There are folks outside telling jokes
One gal lights up now they′re all bumming smokes

Dime a dozen dames
Dime a dozen bars
I'd rather have Havana rum and cocaine
With the woman who smokes cigars


The more crowded the place the more lonely I'll be
Conversation′s lost on me
Feels like I could slide oh I could slide
Right through the wall

Can hardly get a drink just to have in my hand
Can hardly even think it′s too loud to understand
The person beside me saying
Nothing at all

I look high in the sky through the smoke
Thinking oh what an evening and it's time to go

Dime a dozen dames
Dime a dozen bars
I′d rather have Havana rum and cocaine
With the woman who smokes cigars
Dime a dozen dames
I'm a cheaper catch by far
And I′d rather have Havana rum and cocaine
With the woman who smokes cigars
