Help me out, help me down,
Cut me from this rope
I've been hangin' here for fifty years
You know that I can't cope
My blackened eyes have seen you
Like corpses round your table
I'd like to join you in your feast
But you know that I'm not able
Take me in, take me i-i-in
Take me in, take me in, take me in
Rattlenake
Take me in, take me down
Hold me by your side
You'll know that I'm a rattlesnake
By my tattooed hide
I can wrap myself around you
And I can shed my skin
You'll know that I'm a rattlesnake
When you take me in
Take me in, take me i-i-in
Take me in, take me in, take me in
Rattlenake
Help me out, help me down,
Cut me from this rope
I've been hangin' here for fifty years
You know that I can't cope
My blackened eyes have seen you
Like corpses round your table
I'd like to join you in your feast
But you know that I'm not able
Take me in, take me i-i-in
Take me in, take me in, take me in
Rattlenake
