written and performed by Kris Kristofferson.



Verse 1:
      E
	I've known some women in every state
              A
	From New-York city to the Golden gate
              E                                       B
	I've lived with some and buddy i've loved 'em all,yes i did
               E 
	But no one woman had a claim on me
               A
	'Cause i still had a lotta world to see
               E                     B              E
	And i sometimes stagger,but Sugar,i seldom fall


Chorus:
      E              A 
	Then like a hungry man i went to Louisiana
                   E 
	Where the lovin' and the livin' was good
                   A                                             E
	Without a care to hide and just as satisfied as i could be
                 A                      
	A lotta women and wine and not a tie to bind me
             E              
	And behaving just as cool as i could
                F#                                     
	Till a long-legged,sweet walkin',raven-haired and Cajun lookin'
         B                       
	Devil put the sweat on me
                        A
	They call her Smokey,she's a little bit of evil
          E
	Smokey,right as wrong can be
          A 
	Smokey,she could shake the very devil
          E              B       E 
	Smokey put the sweat on me
         A   E              B       E
	Oh,Smokey put the sweat on me


Verse 2:
      E
	Oh,my pulse is a-beatin' to the clickety-clack
                A                                    
	Of this one-way ride that's gonna take me back
                E                                                 B
	And my body's just a breathin' in the Mississippi river smell
                 E
	Well my feet wasn't ready yet for settling down
                A
	But my soul kept tellin' me to turn around
                 E                 B                  E     
	And the longer i tried to fight the harder i fell


Chorus bis:
      E             A
	And like a hungry man i' going to Louisiana
                   E 
	Where the lovin' and the livin' is good
                     A                                           E
	I'll get a brand new bride and be as satisfied as i can be
                    A
	And i won't even mind the world i'm leavin' behind
                   E 
	Because i never really thought that i could
                   F#  
	Till that long-legged,sweet walkin',raven-haired and Cajun lookin'
         B                       
	Devil put the sweat on me
                        A
	They call her Smokey,she's a little bit of evil
          E 
	Smokey,right as wrong can be
          A
	Smokey,she could shake the very devil
          E              B       E
	Smokey put the sweat on me
          A    E              B       E
	Yeah,Smokey put the sweat on me
         A   E              B       E 
	Oh,Smokey put the sweat on me
