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
