Lyrics

Rattlesnake Preacher (Live)

[Intro]

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

My daddy was a man of God

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

In south Alabama

[Verse 1]

He knew the good book real good

And knew the bad all too well

He spent his lifetime rattlin' cages

And runnin’ that devil's ass back to Hell

[Chorus]

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

My daddy was a man of God

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

In south Alabama

My daddy was the Devil's undertaker

My daddy was a saver of souls

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

Just like his daddy before him was

[Verse 2]

Well he was all fire and brimstone

Firewater on his breath

Spittin’ 90-proof truth to a tent full of sinners

'Til there wasn't one single unsaved soul left, son

[Chorus]

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

My daddy was a man of God

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

In south Alabama

My daddy was the Devil's undertaker

My daddy was a saver of souls

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

Just like his daddy before him was

[Verse 3]

I tell my boy all about his pa-paw

And how to learn how to chase the devil away

Some day I'll lay a rattlesnake down

And he'll pick it up, shake it at a sinner, and say

[Chorus]

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

My daddy was a man of God

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

In south Alabama, Alabama

My daddy was the Devil's undertaker

My daddy was a saver of souls

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher

Just like his daddy before him was

Like his daddy before him was

[Outro]

I sing, yes, Jesus loves me

Yes, Jesus loves me

Yes, Jesus loves me

My daddy told me so
