Rattlesnake Blues (Live)

Rattlesnake Blues (Live) - Charlie 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 going to have no hard time mama

Rollin through this world

When I leave here mama I'm going further

Down the road

I say when I leave here mama I'm going

Further down the road

So if I meet him up there I'm going back to

Gulf of Mexico

I'm going to shake glad hands mama I say

Lord you loving boy

I'm going 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 going 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
