Henry Sims feat. Charley Patton - The Complete Recordings 1929-34, Vol. 1

Rattlesnake Blues

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 just below
Vicksburg on a high hill mama you know Louisiana just below
If I get back there I ain't goin' 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
