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

Savannah Strut
Savannah strut won't you please
Walk the floor over me
I see heaven in your eyes
Far as I can see
Savannah strut all over me
Going to Savannah won't be back
Unless I hear the Georgia Railroad stack
She’s coming to bring my baby back
Savannah strut all over me
The way you strut is my thrill
I try to get enough but I never will
My appetite for what I crave
Just won't let me be
Savannah strut all over me

Fowl Play
Early morning', scratch for seed
Gobble up the chicken feed
Suppertime whatcha got
Momma put the bird right in the pot
Frog and a chicken went courting’ yesterday
“Say pretty Hen we’ll marry someday”
Here come the farmer, Wrung the bird’s neck
“I eats my chicken in an alphabet; soup that is”
There was a hen her name was Sadie
I know she made good gravy
Butter biscuits, Collard greens
Sweet Potatoes and black-eyed peas
Late last night come the prodigal son
Left with plenty, returned with none
Fat the calf, tap the keg
He come back home for the chicken leg
There was a rooster, red and yella
He was a very mellow fella
Until his thigh caught mommas eye
Here he is in the chicken pie

Man and Death
Man and Death were walking
“Man you've done so much for me,
The Devil and I were talking;
One Day you will be free”
Time could never steal your beauty
Years could never wear your crown
Although you yield to the Earth your body
The Stars you wear like a gown
One day the dead will awaken
And claim a Heavenly prize
The souls that are not taken
Shall see again through worldly eyes
