[VERSE 1]
E
I've known some women in every state
A
New York City to the Golden Gate
E B B7
I've lived with some, and buddy, I loved 'em all. (Yes, I did)
E
But no one woman had a claim on me
A
'Cause I still had a lotta world to see
E B E E7
And I sometimes stagger, but sugar, I seldom fall.
[PRE-CHORUS]
A
Then like a hungry man, I went to Louisiana
E
Where the lovin' and the livin' was good
A E
Without a care to hide and just as satisfied as I could be.
A
A lotta women and wine and not a tie to bind me
E
And behaving just as cool as I could
F#
'Til that long legged, sweet walkin', ravenhaired and cajun-looking
B
Devil put the sweat on me.
[CHORUS]
A
They call her Smokey, she's a little bit of evil
E
Smokey, right as wrong can be.
A
Smokey, she could shake the very devil
E B E A
Smokey put the sweat on me.
E B E
Smokey put the sweat on me.
[INTERLUDE]
A E F# B
[VERSE 2]
E
Oh, my pulse is a beatin' to the clickety clack
A
Of this one-way ride that's gonna take me back
E B B7
And my body's just a-breathin' in that Mississippi River smell
E
Well, my feet wasn't ready yet for settling down
A
But my soul kept tellin' me to turn around
E B E E7
And the longer I tried to fight it, the harder I fell
[PRE-CHORUS]
A
And like a hungry man, I'm goin' to Louisiana
E
Where the lovin' and the livin' is good
A E
I'll get a brand new bride and be as satisfied as I can be
A
And I won't even mind the world I'm leavin' behind
E
Because I never really thought that I could
F#
'Til that long legged, sweet walkin', ravenhaired and cajun-looking
B
Devil put the sweat on me.
[CHORUS]
A
They call her Smokey, she's a little bit of evil
E
Smokey, right as wrong can be.
A
Smokey, she could shake the very devil
E B E A
Smokey put the sweat on me.
E B E A
Smokey put the sweat on me
E B E A
Awww, Smokey put the sweat on me.
