Ry Cooder - Fool For A Cigarette / Feelin' Good Lyrics

In the North of England, beer and tabs were a way out.

Jack smoked some darkside weed

Sneaky Pete

I had a front seat for concert in Portland, OR. He did his b\Borderline Ablum. The next day I had to have it.

Saw Ry Cooder at Hancher Auditorium (Iowa City)in the middle 70's. It was in the winter, his band was not able to show up due to a blizzard, he put on a fabulous solo show. An awesome musical experience.

oh to play like this

A fool for Ry Cooder.

You bet!!!!

Uhm, I'm a fool for a cigarette
Lord, I'm fool for a cigarette
When you've finished choke it 'cause I wanna smoke it
Lord, I'm fool for a cigarette
Mind when you throw your cigarette
Mind when you throw your cigarette
When you've finished choke it 'cause I wanna smoke it
Lord, I'm fool for a cigarette
Lord, I'm fool for a cigarette
Uhm, I'm fool for a cigarette
When you've finished choke it 'cause I wanna smoke it
Lord, I'm fool for a cigarette
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world spent onl feelin' good
Well, the wino met me on the streets
Said, "Help me on to some Sneakin' Pete
Please, help me brother, I wish you would
'Cause I feel so bad and I wanna feel good"
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world is spent on feelin' good
Well, you see them folks all dressed so fine
Dancing, drinking champagne and wine
They'd pinch your pockets now if they could
'Cause they ain't doing nothing but feelin' good
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world is spent on feelin' good
Red, yellow, black or tan
Makes no difference: a man's a man
They oughta live together now if they could
Then the whole wide world would be feelin' good
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world spent on feelin' good
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world spent on feelin' good

Maybe we are all a fool to smoke something, on this inauguration night.

I remember when my brother came home with this album, back in the early '70s.  Wow!  I loved it then and I love it now.

first heard him in sixties like a classic red wine he improves with age used to sing a few of his songs and people never heard of him thought i was a genius which of course i am not but he most definitely is !!!! jake williams now listening to him in vietnam happy days

This whole L.P. Still tears me up How many years later?

It took a whole band (Little Feat) to emulate this sound

have you got a cig?

Having been a very heavy smoker for about thirty five years I can really relate to this song.
I managed top give up,though I never thought it possible.
I couldn't have done it without the help of electronic cigarette,which I doubt I'll ever give up.

I saw Cooder play this at Texas Opry House in Houston, 1974. Best part of his show.

Damn straight!  You ain't doin nuthin get over to Chicago Blues Fest 2014....Tell it to 'em.
