Smokes Like Lightning Lyrics - Lightnin' 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, 

But Po' Lightnin' sinking by degree 

By degree
