Smokes Like Lightning (Remastered 2016) - Lightnin' Hopkins

Written by：Lightnin' Hopkins/Sam Hopkins

Whoa it smoke like lightnin'

Yeah but shine like gold

Don't you hear me talking pretty baby

Smoke like lightnin'

Yeah but shine like gold

Yeah you know I see my little fair one

Lying there on a cooling bowl

Yes I see the hearse one morning

Backed up to our door

Don't you hear me talking

Soon one morning

Backed up to our door

Well you know I could see my little baby

Lying there on a cooling bowl

Well my baby died and left me

Laid her on a cooling bowl

Yes she died and she left me

They laid her on a cooling bowl

Well they said lightnin'

She's gone and left you now boy

You will never see her smiling face no more

Well it was sad

Well I followed my baby followed my baby

Down to her burying ground

Well I followed my baby followed her

Down to her burying ground

Yeah it didn't hurt me so bad till I'd seen

Poor Miss when they let her down

You know I done lost my little fair one

I guess the next thing will be me

I done lost my little fair one

I guess the next thing will be me

Whoa I ain't dead no boys

Po' lightnin' sinking by degree

By degree
