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.
