Rattlesnake Blues-Charley Patton

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
