THREE CIGARETTES IN AN ASHTRAY
(W Stevenson / W S Stevenson / Eddie Miller)

as recorded by Patsy Cline
1957


Two cigarettes in an ashtray,
My love and I in a small cafe.
Then a stranger came along
And everything went wrong,
Now there's three cigarettes in the ashtray! (in the ashtray)

I watched her take him from me
And his love is no longer my own.
Now they are gone and I sit alone,
And watch one cigarette burn away!

I watched her take him from me
And his love is no longer my own.
Now they are gone and I sit alone,
And watch one cigarette burn away!
