Hold That Snake

Ry Cooder · Other Songs - 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

Hold that snake 'til I make it

Hold on 'til 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

'Til I make it
