I've known some women i[E]n every state
N[A]ew York City to the Golden Gate
I've l[E]ived with some, and buddy, I loved 'em [B]all. (Y[B7]es, I did)
But n[E]o one woman had a claim on me
'Cause [A]I still had a lotta world to see
And I s[E]ometimes stagger, but s[B]ugar, I seldom f[E]all.[E7]
Then like a h[A]ungry man, I went to Louisiana
Where the l[E]ovin' and the livin' was good
Without a c[A]are to hide and just as satisfied as I could b[E]e.
A lotta w[A]omen and wine and not a tie to bind me
And beh[E]aving just as cool as I could
'Til that l[F#]ong legged, sweet walkin', ravenhaired and cajun-looking
D[B]evil put the sweat on me.
They call her Sm[A]okey, she's a little bit of evil
Sm[E]okey, right as wrong can be.
Sm[A]okey, she could shake the very devil
Sm[E]okey put the sw[B]eat on m[E]e.[A]
Sm[E]okey put the sw[B]eat on m[E]e.

Oh, my p[E]ulse is a beatin' to the clickety clack
Of this o[A]ne-way ride that's gonna take me back
And my b[E]ody's just a-breathin' in that Mississippi River sm[B]ell[B7]
Well, my f[E]eet wasn't ready yet for settling down
But my s[A]oul kept tellin' me to turn around
And the l[E]onger I tried to f[B]ight it, the harder I f[E]ell[E7]
And like a h[A]ungry man, I'm goin' to Louisiana
Where the l[E]ovin' and the livin' is good
I'll get a br[A]and new bride and be as satisfied as I can b[E]e
And I won't [A]even mind the world I'm leavin' behind
Because I n[E]ever really thought that I could
'Til that l[F#]ong legged, sweet walkin', ravenhaired and cajun-looking
D[B]evil put the sweat on me.
