Smoking Song 1906

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Jul 2004

'Tis only a bit of tobacco
just my pipe that is all
but it is the best friend that I know,
it's ready at my call.
Won't you fill your pipe
and smoke tonight,
it will banish every woe
for its smoke is an incense sweeter
that any that I know,

Smoking the pipe of peace boys
peace from the cares of this life
Smoke smoke away this is delight boys,
for smoking's a rest from strife.
Puff puff puff making rings
making rings Puff puff puff
Oh the peace it brings,
smoking the pipe of peace boys
peace from the cares of this life,
peace from the cares,
from the cares of this life.

Oh tell me have you had a pipe dream
just fill your pipe and see
what a very good world it would seem,
how restful it can be.
When the burden is too hard to bear,
when the clouds are hanging low,
a quiet smoke will lighten your care,
and you'll forget your woe.

Smoking the pipe of peace boys
peace from the cares of this life
Smoke smoke away this is delight boys,
for smoking's a rest from strife.
Puff puff puff making rings
making rings Puff puff puff
Oh the peace it brings,
smoking the pipe of peace boys
peace from the cares of this life,
peace from the cares,
from the cares of this life.
