Rattlesnake Blues

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