Smokey Put The Sweat On Me Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson; Lee Hazlewood
Ive known some women in every state New york city to the golden gate Ive 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, shes 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 thats gonna take me back And my bodys just a-breathin in that mississippi river smell Well, my feet wasnt 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 Ill get a brand new bride and be as satisfied as I can be And I wont even mind the world Im 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, shes 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
