I had the blues so bad one time I hated my whole life
I walked around with my head hung down in shame
All I saw were clouded skies, I could not find the light
And I told myself that a woman was to blame
Well it all seems so different now as did when I was a child
When I could not see the dangers in somethings
Man plans livin fair along he best learn some respect
For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies and c**aine
Chorus
There are lots of things in this ol world, bring a poor boy down
If you lean on me you can save yourself some pain
And you dont have to live in fear but you better learn some respect
For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies and c**aine
Well only a natural fool would take a rattlsnake to bed
But that rattler he'll warn you before he strikes
And c**aine will sneak up on you and pretend to be a friend
It'll be more deadly than that vipers bite
And painted lady she'll come to you when your all alone
Its when you come to depend on her well, she'll be up and gone
And then you'll know what dying slow feels like
Chorus
There are lots of things in this ol world, bring a poor boy down
If you lean on me you can save yourself some pain
And you dont have to live in fear but you better learn some respect
For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies and c**aine
These are just a few examples, the list goes on and on
A million things that could drive a man insane
And you dont have to live in fear but keep an open eye
For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies and c**aine
For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies and c**aine
For those rattlesnakes, painted ladies and c**aine
