       E 
I've known some women in every state 
 A 
New York City to the Golden Gate 
      E                                      B      B7 
I've lived with some, and buddy, I 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    E7 
And I sometimes stagger, but sugar, I seldom fall. 

             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#                                                 
'Til that long legged, sweet walkin', ravenhaired and cajun-looking  
 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  A 
Smokey put the sweat on me. 
  E              B       E  
Smokey put the sweat on me.

        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   B7 
And my body's just a-breathin' in that 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   E7 
And the longer I tried to fight it, the harder I fell 

            A 
And like a hungry man, I'm goin' 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
