Smokes Like Lightnin Lyrics

Smokes Like Lightnin lyrics

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,

But Po'
Lightnin' sinking by degree

By degree
