Low Down Snake Belly Blues

I know you said that this might happen
I know you warned me from the start
I know you thought he was a bad one
But I just listened to my heart

Now he's cheated on me
And he spent all my money
And I don't know what to do
Oh Mama please mama won't you rescue me
From the low down snake belly blues

I guess I should have been more cautious
I guess I should have taken time
Perhaps I should have seen it coming
I guess it proves that love is blind

So he's stolen my car
And he's driven to the country
Along with someone new
Please Mama oh mama won't you rescue me
From the low down snake belly blues

I must be looking kinda foolish
I must appear to be naive
Though he must have been convincing
Cos what he said I would believe

Well he shattered my dreams
And he's stolen my soul
Now he's broken my heart in two
Please Mama oh mama won't you rescue me
From the low down snake belly blues

He's so low down and it's no mistake
He's closer to the ground than the belly of a snake... it's true
He's ready to pounce like a snake in the grass
A slippery slimy pain in the ass... it's true
