SMOKEY PUT THE SWEAT ON ME

I've known some women in every state
From New York City to the Golden Gate
And I've lived with some and buddy I've loved 'em all --  yes I did
But no one woman had a claim on me
Cause I still had a lotta world to see
And I sometimes stagger but, sugar, I seldom fall

Then like a hungry man
I went to Louisian'
Where the livin' and the lovin' was good
Without a care to hide
And just as satisfied as I could be
A lotta women and wine and not a tie to bind me and behavin' just as cool as I could
Till a long-legged sweet-walkin' raven-haired and Cajun-lookin'
Devil put the sweat on me

They call her Smokey, she's a little bit of evil
Smokey - right as wrong can be
Smokey - she could shake a very devil
Smokey put the sweat on me
Oh Smokey put the sweat on me

Oh my pulse is a beatin' to the clickety-clack
Of this one-way ride that's gonna take me back
And my body's just a breathin' in the Mississippi River smell
Well my feet wasn't ready yet for settling down
But my soul kept telling me to turn around
And the longer I tried to fight in the harder I fell

And like a hungry man
I'm goin' to Louisian'
Where the lovin' and the livin' is good
I'll get a brand new bride
And be as satisfied as I can be
And I won't even mind the world I'm leavin' behind
Because I never really thought that I could
Till the long-legged sweet-walkin' Smokey put the sweat on me

They call her Smokey, she's a little bit of evil
Smokey - right as wrong can be
Smokey - she could shake a very devil
Smokey put the sweat on me
Oh Smokey put the sweat on me
