Three Cigarettes In An Ashtray

Written by eddie miller and w.s. stevenson

Two cigarettes in an ashtray

My love and i, in a small caf?br> then a stranger came along

And everything went wrong

Now there's three cigarettes 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

(repeat last verse)
