Mother, I adore you
Father, I'm gettin' old
Darlin' I cant hear your words
But I hear that rattlesnake moan
Darlin' I hardly knew you
But by the strength of your skin
You said farewell to my achin' heart
Your gonna hear my rattlesnake sing
Hey hey hey, I'm a rattlesnake babe
Well well well, won't you rattle me?
Rider, oh rider
I hope to be leavin' soon
How I wish that I could ride the blinds
That my rattlesnake holds on to
Stranger, oh stranger
How did I become like you
Every time I see that mirror girl
Well I see my rattlesnake too
Hey hey hey, I'm a rattlesnake babe
Well well well, won't you rattle me
Mother, I love you
Father, I'm doin' well
Darlin' I cant hear your words
Livin' in my rattlesnake hell
