I’m so tired, I’m feeling so upset
Although I’m so tired, I’ll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git

[Defiant]

I know that lyric, but I have always wondered if Raleigh had much to do with the tobacco trade, or if his main connection is the name of a cigarette. Never looked into it.
