Snake Bit

Snake Bit

Aces passed me by again 

As did the girls

The boys drank my whiskey

Took my last dollar

And left me alone

Snake eyes snake bit living on the highway

Town by town doing it my way

A rambling man a gambling fool

Don't bide no rule

I'm just a bar-fly hustler

Born in the dust

A drunk for a father

A mother long gone

Who left me alone

Snake eyes snake bit living on the highway

Town by town doing it my way

A rambling man a gambling fool

Don't bide no rule

I once had me a woman

Pretty as pie

I traded for moonshine

It's no wonder why

She left me alone

Snake eyes snake bit living on the highway

Town by town doing it my way

A rambling man a gambling fool

Don't bide no rule

I'll sure die in some corner

Town with no name

A devil's disciple

The end of the line

A grave all alone

Snake eyes snake bit living on the highway

Town by town doing it my way

A rambling man a gambling fool

Don't bide no rule
