Smither’s family lived in Ecuador and the Rio Grande Valley in Texas before settling in New Orleans when Chris was three years old. He grew up in New Orleans, and lived briefly in Paris where he and his twin sister Mary Catherine attended French public school. It was in Paris that Smither got his first guitar - one his father brought him from Spain. Shortly after, the family returned to New Orleans where his father taught at Tulane University.

Chris Smither - Up on the Lowdown Lyrics
[Lyrics Chris Smither - Up on the Lowdown]
When I think that I know nothing, it's all feelings
My friends keep me down to ground, they peel me off the ceiling
And that's what's so surprising
They used to seem so shy
But I only know 'cause so am I
It keeps me hanging around
It keeps me up on the lowdown
Up on the lowdown.
Cause I been closer listening, I can hear you
All that stuff that I'd been missing, it warms me now I'm near you
And that's what's so surprising
You used to seem so cold
But I only know what I been told
I hear it down in town
It keeps me up on the lowdown
Up on the lowdown.
I might try to scream and cry just to test you
Then something makes me listen in, it rushes to my rescue
And that's what's so surprising
It all seems so well-timed
That it won't shake any more suspici...

And that's what's so surprising
It all seems so well-timed
That it won't shake any more suspicious minds
But I just like the sound
It keeps me up on the lowdown
Up on the lowdown.
And this simple secret is the key to my attraction
Makes me feel like such a king, it keeps me on the action
And that's what's so surprising
Nobody has to know
Cause I can keep it here, it hardly shows
Underneath my crown
It keeps me up on the lowdown
Up on the lowdown.

Mama she raised me on riddles and trances Fatback, channel-cat, lily white lies Rocked my cradle in a jimmy-crack fancy Never met papa and I never asked why And people say papa wasn't no account anyway People say papa was a rollin' stone I turned twenty on the Waccamaw throughway Headed upriver in the dark alone Sleepin' with a stranger in a no name town Thanksgivin' dinner at the Top Hat Lounge Christmas Eve at the Fantasy Tan Lord have mercy on the crocodile man Lord have mercy on the crocodile man Well I hooked up with a carny, little out of Memphis Slavin' in a side show, pennies in a jar Beetle-eyed jokers and hick town princes Rhinestone rubies and rubber cigars Wrassled me a gator up in Omaha City Did me another down in New Orleans Tangled with the barker, ran off with the kitty Crawled the Mississippi and I got away clean I've been sSleepin' with a stranger in a no name town Thanksgivin' dinner at the Top Hat Lounge Christmas Eve at the Fantasy Tan Lord have mercy on the crocodile man Lord have mercy on the crocodile man Underneath the levee in a cattail thicket Down in the shadow of a shady grove There's a thatched roof risin' from a poke fence picket White smoke billows from a coal black stove Inside the house is the hall of mirrors Inside the mirror is the temple of sin Inside the temple is the face of mama And mama she knows where I been My mama knows exactly where her bad boy been Been sleepin' with a stranger in a no name town Thanksgivin' dinner at the Top Hat Lounge Christmas Eve at the Fantasy Tan Lord have mercy on the crocodile man
