Smokey Put the Sweat On Me - Kris Kristofferson

Lyrics by：Kris Kristofferson

Composed by：Kris Kristofferson

Produced by：Fred Foster

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

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
