Smoke
Tex Williams

 

     Although not  nearly as well known as figures like Bob Wills or the Maddox Brothers, Tex Williams was an important Western swing performer. He helped develop country music from its rural acoustic origins to a more danceable, city-fied, and electrified form with a much wider popular appeal. His biggest hit was a tongue-in-cheek number about the  perils of smoking. Tune in Saturday  morning for some talking blues with Tex Williams. 

Tell Saint Peter at the golden gate, he's just gonna' have to wait. 

I just gottta' have another cigarette.
