Ash from my cigarette
Drops I can't figure it
What's taking my baby so long
She's missed her bus, maybe caught in the rush
Or perhaps my directions were wrong

It's almost time, boy
Drink up your wine, boy

I'm smoking a long cigarette
I'm hoping my baby will come along yet
Tonight you'll be lonely, why evens our bet
Some other sucker she's met
I'm smoking a long cigarette

Clocks ticking softly, there's skin on my coffee
The hope in my heart's on the wane
Can't understand it where is she
The bandit just paid out the jackpot again

It's almost time, boy
Drink up your wine, boy

I'm smoking a long cigarette
I'm hoping my baby will come along yet
Tonight you'll be lonely, why evens our bet
Some other sucker she's met
I'm smoking a long cigarette

There's my baby there
Rains all in her hair

Let her in waiter, you'll get my tip later
My baby's just outside the door
Bring two more coffee's and you can go off be
Assured we won't want anymore

Baby looks fine boy
Wish she we're mine boy

I've just smoked my last cigarette
I'm glad baby's come, knew she wouldn't forget
She's worth waiting for, I should never have bet
Some other sucker she's met
Smoking her long cigarette
.....
