Smokey Put the Sweat on Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've known some women in every state New York City to the Golden Gate And I've lived with some, and buddy, I 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 [Pre-Chorus] And like a hungry man, I went to Louisiana Where the lovin' and the livin' 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 behaving just as cool as I could Till that long legged, sweet walkin' Raven-haired and cajun lookin' devil put the sweat on me [Chorus] They call her Smokey, she's a little bit-a evil Smokey, right as wrong can be Smokey, she could shake the very devil Smokey put the sweat on me Oh, Smokey put the sweat on me [Verse 2] 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 tellin' me to turn around And the longer I tried to fight it, the harder I fell [Pre-Chorus] And like a hungry man, I went to Louisiana Where the lovin' and the livin' was good I get a brand new bride and be as satisfied as I could be And won't even mind the world I'm leavin' behind 'Cause I never really thought that I could Till that long legged, sweet walkin' Raven-haired and cajun lookin' devil put the sweat on me [Chorus] They called her Smokey, she's a little bit-a evil Smokey, right as wrong can be Smokey, she could shake the very devil Smokey put the sweat on me Yeah, Smokey put the sweat on me Oh, Smokey put the sweat on me Yeah, Smokey put the sweat on me
