Charley Patton - Rattlesnake Blues lyrics
[Charley Patton - Rattlesnake Blues lyrics]
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
