RattlesnakeJoe

1. VERSE

Come, gather from my children

I got a story to tell

About a man who stood up tall

At the ringing of the graveyard bell

He was only an ordinary man

But he did an extra ordinary thing

From the sea to the mighty tree

Stood up before the Devil and sang, said

1. CHORUS

No devil, get out of my way

I don't care what the Reaper man say

Can take a night or another day

I said, Rattlesnake Joe’s go on home, yeah

1. EXTRA

Let me tell you more about the man, ha

2. VERSE

Well, the judge and the jury wanted to

Put him in the state’s pen

But said; Joe, we will heave your time

If you sell us every one of your friends

Well, Joe just smile

Looked the judge in the eye

Aim his pistol with the eagle eye and said

I see justice on the other side, he said

2. CHORUS

No devil, get out of my way

I don't care what the Reaper man say

Can take a night or another day

I said, Rattlesnake Joe’s go on home, yeah

Stand back Devil, cause I’m on my way

I ain't been home for 1000 days

Holy word from the Bible page says

Rattlesnake Joe's going home, ha
