Lyrics and translation Charley Patton - Rattlesnake Blues
Just
like
a
rattlesnake,
I
say
mama
Lordy,
in
the
middle
of
his
curl
Tout
comme
un
serpent
à
sonnettes,
je
te
dis
ma
chérie,
au
milieu
de
ses
boucles
I
say
I'm
just
like
a
rattlesnake,
baby
I
say,
in
the
middle
of
his
curl
Je
dis
que
je
suis
comme
un
serpent
à
sonnettes,
bébé,
je
te
dis,
au
milieu
de
ses
boucles
I
ain't
goin'
to
have
no
hard
time
mama
rollin'
through
this
world
Je
n'aurai
pas
de
mal
à
rouler
dans
ce
monde
When
I
leave
here
mama
I'm
goin'
further
down
the
road
Quand
je
partirai
d'ici,
ma
chérie,
je
prendrai
la
route
plus
loin
I
say
when
I
leave
here
mama
I'm
goin'
further
down
the
road
Je
dis
que
quand
je
partirai
d'ici,
ma
chérie,
je
prendrai
la
route
plus
loin
So
if
I
meet
him
up
there
I'm
goin
back
to
Gulf
of
Mexico
Donc,
si
je
le
rencontre
là-haut,
je
retournerai
au
Golfe
du
Mexique
I'm
goin
to
shake
glad
hands
mama
I
say
Lord
you
lovin'
boy
Je
vais
te
serrer
la
main,
ma
chérie,
je
te
dis
Seigneur,
tu
es
un
garçon
amoureux
I'm
goin
shake
glad
hands
I
say
with
you
lovin'
boy
Je
vais
te
serrer
la
main,
je
te
dis,
avec
toi,
garçon
amoureux
Fixin'
to
eat
my
supper
in
Shelby
Illinois
J'ai
l'intention
de
manger
mon
souper
à
Shelby,
Illinois
Vicksburg
on
a
high
hill
and
Louisiana
Lord
just
below
Vicksburg
sur
une
colline
et
la
Louisiane,
Seigneur,
juste
en
dessous
Vicksburg
on
a
high
hill
mama
you
know
Louisiana
just
below
Vicksburg
sur
une
colline,
ma
chérie,
tu
sais,
la
Louisiane
juste
en
dessous
If
I
get
back
there
I
ain't
goin'
never
be
bad
no
more
Si
je
retourne
là-bas,
je
ne
serai
plus
jamais
méchant
And
my
baby's
got
a
heart
like
a
piece
of
railroad
steel
Et
mon
bébé
a
un
cœur
comme
un
morceau
d'acier
de
chemin
de
fer
Baby's
got
a
heart
like
a
piece
of
railroad
steel
Bébé
a
un
cœur
comme
un
morceau
d'acier
de
chemin
de
fer
If
I
leave
here
this
morning
never
say
"daddy
how
do
you
feel?"
Si
je
pars
d'ici
ce
matin,
ne
dis
jamais
"papa,
comment
te
sens-tu
?"
