David Lindley - Hold That Snake lyrics

(Ry Cooder) I love my baby Like a bull dog loves his bone Last night she got crazy Called me up on the phone Said come on over daddy 'Cause I hates drinkin' alone Said I had me a little And I had to have a little more Try to get up, could not get out the door And there's a big ole snake That's crawlin' right across the floor My baby's not afraid to take a chance Drinkin' whiskey starts her thinkin' about romance That's when she wants What I keep in my pants I know she's got a few tricks up her sleeve When she gets hot it's not hard to believe So I told my baby Just what Adam said to Eve Chorus Hold that snake 'till I make it Hold on 'till your daddy gets there Just grab his head and shake it Tell him be ain't goin' nowhere Take it easy but take it But don't let go of that snake Till I make it
