Biografía:
Tex Williams (23rd August 1917-11th October 1985) was an American country musician from Ramsey, Illinois. He helped move rural and acoustic country music to dance-oriented mainstream pop Western swing. His popularity peaked in the late 1940s. Williams is perhaps best-known for this talking blues style; his biggest hit, the novelty song "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)" appears in the hit film Thank You for Smoking.

[Verse 1]
F Bb F
Now Miss Nancy Ann ran a boardin' house with a faded sign that read
C G C
"Single Rooms For Single Girls No Men Allowed" it said
Dm Bb G C
But rumor had it that a gentleman with a yen for love for a fee
F D Bb F
Could always go to Nancy Ann's for some feminine company
Dm Bb F
Well one night in June in the billiard room was I chalking up with a friend
Dm G C
He was set to break when the door burst open and Leo James rushed in
Dm Bb G
He yelled there's a fire that's just broke out and it's down at Nancy Ann's
C Dm Bb
So we dropped our cues on the poolroom floor and down the street we ran
[Refrain]
F Bb C F Dm
Though the flames were hot and the smoke was thick not a single life was lost
G C
And the reason for the blaze was never found
Bb C F Dm
But it long will be remembered in our local history
F Dm Bb Gm
As the fire that fairly scandalized the town
F C Dm Bb F
The night Miss Nancy Ann's Hotel For Single Girls burned down

[Verse 2]
F Dm C Bb
When we got to the place the front was a blaze and so was the second floor
F Dm G C
So we cut around the side and up the alley and stopped aside the back door
Dm Bb G C
We were catching our breath when the door flew open and knocked poor Leo flat
F Bb F
And out through the smoke ran Mayor Wills wearin' nothing but a black silk hat
D Bb
And right behind him with his shirt tail afire came the local chief of police
F Dm G C
And banker Jones with the red-haired girl he always said was his niece
Dm Bb G C
And then I spied Miss Nancy Ann herself helping someone else out of the fire
Dm Bb F
Her arm around the red bald head of old Judge McEntire
G C
A deacon a dentist a deputy sheriff and one state congressman
G Em A D
The county physician the city mortician out through the flames they ran
Em C A7 D
The grand parade of girls in gowns and hat clad gentlemen
G C G
Through the thick gray smoke that certainly smelled like french perfume and gin
[Refrain]
F Bb C F Dm
Though the flames were hot and the smoke was thick not a single life was lost
G C
And the reason for the blaze was never found
Bb C F Dm
But it long will be remembered in our local history

As the fire that fairly scandalized the town
F C Dm Bb F
The night Miss Nancy Ann's Hotel For Single Girls burned down
[Verse 3]
C Bb F
Now everybody was out at the girl's hotel by the time the roof caved in
Dm C
We were headin' back to the billiard hall when Leo turned to my friend
Dm Bb Bm C
He said I believe that's the funniest show I've ever seen in town
F C Bb F
The so called elite caught out in the street with their pompous purity down
[Refrain]
F Bb C F Dm
Though the flames were hot and the smoke was thick not a single life was lost

And the reason for the blaze was never found
