[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
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
