The Deslondes - Tres Grand Serpent lyrics

[Verse 1] Prettiest girl I ever seen Loves so good but acts so mean Lips so wet and her eyes so green Fell on down for the devil's dream Fell in love, nothing I could do Love someone that don't love you I'd love her again if I had a chance to Tres grand serpent autour de mon cou [Chorus] Grand serpent around my neck Autour de mon cou, losing my head Feeling fine, doing bad Best of times, the worst I had Grand serpent around my neck Autour de mon cou, losing my head [Verse 2] Stayed too late at the bar last night Drank too much and got into a fight Holds his call until daylight Tied one on way too tight If the rain don't shine and the sky's still blue Sun don't pour but the bar still do Having a time, yes I do Tres grand serpent autour de mon cou [Chorus] Grand serpent around my neck Autour de mon cou, losing my head Feeling fine, doing bad Best of times, the worst I had Grand serpent around my neck Autour de mon cou, losing my head [Verse 3] Me and my pals at a poker game Sitting on top, thought I had it made Went all in when I should have stayed Had the boat but four a'kind played Lost my dough, feeling might blue Asked them for a loan and what did they do? Gave me all my money but I lost that too Tres grand serpent autour de mon cou [Chorus] Grand serpent around my neck Autour de mon cou, losing my head Feeling fine, doing bad Best of times, the worst I had Grand serpent around my neck Autour de mon cou, losing my head Nothing to do, nothing to say Always been being this way Always bad, always the fool Tres grand serpent autour de mon cou
