Squid O'Creek - Big, Big, Big, Big Rattlesnake lyrics

{Verse 1} My daddy was a fat man And his belt was long (come here boy) I swear he beat me like a head headed child He was always out drinking When momma was alive He beat her until she had to die {Pre-Chorus} This is the way back home For many years I have roamed I’ve been behind a gun to long I keep seeing my baby’s face After me like a rattlesnake A big, big, big, big rattlesnake {Chorus} The sheriff’s got my gun And I’m back out on the run Twenty years without bail Is where I might еnd up And so I say to you If darling, you be true You’ve nеver seen this face before You’ve never known this killer was born {Verse 2} I waited in the tumbleweed For him to come on home I waited with my double barrel I would have to stand alone I was whistling like the devil in heat When I heard him drawing near I shot my daddy, and I ran like hell {Pre-Chorus} This is the way back home For many years I have roamed I’ve been behind a gun to long I keep seeing my baby’s face After me like a rattlesnake A big, big, big, big rattlesnake {Chorus} The sheriff’s got my gun And I’m back out on the run Twenty years without bail Is where I might end up And so I say to you If darling, you be true You’ve never seen this face before You’ve never known this killer was born {Verse 3} Some people might have remorse And have to take it up with god I’m proud to have killed my daddy Hell, I could kill any of yours But those days are behind me Trampled in the dirt Like memories washed ashore Like clams on the floor {Outro} This is the way back home For many years I have roamed I’ve been behind a gun to long
