- Rattlesnake Blues Lyrics
Just like a rattlesnake I say mama lordy in
the middle of his coil
I say I'm just like a rattlesnake baby I
say in the middle of his coil
I ain't goin to have no hard time mama
rollin through this world
When I leave here mama I'm goin further
down the road
I say when I leave here mama I'm goin
further down the road
So if I meet him up there I'm goin back to
Gulf of Mexico
I'm goin to shake glad hands mama I say
Lord you loving boy
I'm goin shake glad hands I say with you
loving boy
Fixin to eat my supper in Shelby Illinois
Vicksburg on a high hill and Louisiana Lord
it's just below
Vicksburg on a high hill mama you know
Louisiana just below
If I get back there I ain't goin to never
be bad no more
And my baby's got a heart like a piece of
railroad steel
Baby's got a heart like a piece of railroad
steel
If I leave here this morning never say
daddy how do you feel
