i am looking for a song but was unable to find it on the site. the title is either "Smoke that Cigarette" or,possibly, "The Cigarette Song", written, i believe by Merle Travis.
the chorus goes "Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette. Puff, puff, puff until u smoke urself to death. Tell st. peter at the golden gate i just hate to make him wait but, i got to have another cigarette"
can anyone tell where to find this song online?
or, if appropriate, i am prepared to offer it for inclusion in Merles' list of songs once it is confirmed my information is correct.
thanx, papabristol

Topic: mea culpa (1 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Ok. I feel i must apologize. i did say i was new to the site.
After looking around a bit i learned from the HELP notes that the name under the title of the song is the artist
In my defense i do submit: putting a name directly beneath a title appears to suggest that name is the author of that title. In fact i believe that is the way it is done in our libraries accross the land.
Would you folks consider a change in the way tha songs are presented to include the actual author under the title & then the particular artist?
Of course i can not know how important this may seem to yourselves, i can only tell you that from the viewpoint of the browser, or user,of your site it would be less confusing and it would aid me if i were looking for material which was new to me (either songs, artists or genres) to cross reference & so find myself in previously unknown territory.
So anyway, i will stop posting comments pointing out who wrote what now that i see it is only the less than formal way the songs are presented rather than mistakes.
Please forgive me, papabristol

I don't mean to be a pest but on the johnny cash song page it shows " If I were a carpenter" to be written by john holt. Of course we all know Tim Hardin wrote that song. Sincerely, i do not wish to be downing all the hard work which has been put in creating & managing this site. So, please, tell me if my observations are unwelcome & i will keep my remarks to myself. Thank you, papabristol

Hi folks. I'm new to the site & not familiar w how things are done. But, i couldn't help but notice the credits for 16 tons list JC as author. I believe that song was written by Merle Travis. i've always played it Em,C, B7, with the chorus Em,Am, w a turn around using B7. Please correct me if i'm wrong about the author. respectfully, papabristol
