Rattlesnake
Aint nothing but a rattlesnake I’m curled around your leg
I’m a rattlesnake curled around your leg
If you dig my sweet potatoes don’t make me beg
Aint nothing but a jackrabbit nibbling around your bush
I’m a jackrabbit nibbling around your bush
If you dig my loving give me a push
Aint nothing but a bumble bee buzzing around your hive
I’m a bumblebee buzzing around your hive
If you dig my stinger don’t hand me that jive
The devil got religion joined the Baptist church
Became a Baptist preacher so he won’t have to work
They kneeled in the temple, kneeled him in the altar
The choir did sing
Aint nothing but a rattlesnake curled around your leg
I’m a rattlesnake curled up around your leg
If you dig my loving don’t make me beg
Aint nothing but a jackrabbit nibbling around your bush
I’m a jackrabbit nibbling around your bush
If you dig my sweet potato just give me a push

Marie
Going to Louisiana, I’m gonna see my baby there
See my Marie down there
She’s not so tall she’s got coal black hair
Deep down in the swamp
She wrestles with an alligator
She’ll fry ‘em up in a pan with sweet onions and red potatoes
Marie
Woman from new Orleans
Momma called her the voodoo queen
Finest woman I ever seen
You got your spell on me
Momma said you are evil, but you all right with me
Asked the momma for the daughter’s hand
I’ve got a home in the city but I’m a country man
Under the cypress I sing my bride an ancient tune
Slow pole my pirogue by the light of the silvery moon

First Day of May
It’s raining at four am in Jackson
I’m trying to get you on the line
I can’t stop my heart from pouring
From the bottom of this bottle of wine
There are diamonds in the skies over Texas
It rolls out forever I know
Like the jewels in the eyes of my darling
With adventures yet to be told
Meet me by the old oak tree
Down by the Audubon zoo
Kiss me like you did on the first day of May
When the summer and our love was new
If I had my life to live over
There is only one different thing I could do
I would not wait so many years
Darling until I find you
I want to take you away from the things
Everyday that bring you down
Take my hand let's walk together
Until we are buried in the ground

True Love
It stirs thru your body until it stimulates your brain
Sets you soul on fire driving you insane
The things she says you will never understand
Are a part time lover or her loving man?
It’s the spark in her eye
It’s the heat of her thigh
It’s the curl of her toes; the things that she knows
The way she touches my head and the love she makes
How she holds me while she wakes
I live in a world deep in the girl’s eyes
She moves me; the girl has got to be mine
It’s the spark in her eye
It’s the heat of her thigh
It’s the curl of her toes; the things that she knows
That’s true love
In my blood like hot spiced wine
Intoxicating, you spin my mind
Accept my love, please come back home
You have taken the meat from the bone

Fly Little Bird
Madmen with lies hatred and guns
Brothers and sisters buried in the ground
Brothers and sisters scattered all around
Little bird fly above it all
Mr. Roosevelt can you hear me please?
I’m in jail on my knees
Mr. Roosevelt can you hear me please?
I’m in Jail battered and diseased
My body is here but my spirit will be free
Fly little bird fly away for me
Over mountains across the sea
Fly little bird Fly away from me
To the land across the sea
To the world of liberty
Little bird I can hear song as you labor all day long
Your body is hear but your spirit will be strong

Pride
Live love and hope you understand
Until you realize you never can
Scars of pride
Sing my songs to feel I’m alive
Search for answers that never arrive
Scars of pride
What is right can always be wrong
You say you were happy but don’t remember how long
Leave a tear for every slow song
Scars of pride

Difference
The only difference between wrong and right
Is your perspective or where you put the light
I try to make understand but that gets out of hand
I try and I try; words won’t get me by
I’m just one man; I wish I could understand
In the sandbox in our summer days
I admit I noticed you had some different ways
We cried and laughed and loved the sun
Until our mamas called we were just having fun
Pressure builds into explosive days
Soft slow tender loving ways
The only difference that is between you and me
Is what we choose for there to be
-D. Dudeck
