Charley Patton - Rattlesnake Blues Lyrics

Lyrics Rattlesnake Blues - Charley Patton



Just like a rattlesnake, I say mama Lordy, in the middle of his curl
I say I'm just like a rattlesnake, baby I say, in the middle of his curl
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 lovin' boy
I'm goin shake glad hands I say with you lovin' boy
Fixin' to eat my supper in Shelby Illinois
Vicksburg on a high hill and Louisiana Lord just below
Vicksburg on a high hill mama you know Louisiana just below
If I get back there I ain't goin' 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?"
