Smokey Put The Sweat On Me Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

I've known some women in every state 

New York City to the Golden Gate 

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. 

Then 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 

'Til that long legged, sweet walkin' ravenhaired cajun lookin' 

Devil put the sweat on me 

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, 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 that 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 

And like a hungry man, I went to Louisiana 

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 

'Til that long legged, sweet walkin' ravenhaired cajun looking devil 

Put the sweat on me. 

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 

Smokey put the sweat on me 

Awww, Smokey put the sweat on me.
