You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues Oh, I think I've seen this film Different director but we all know how it ends Oh, you know I've read this book Just another killer that gets right off the hook Tell the lawyers that I paid my bills Dotted the line when I signed my will Hey mama, won't you tie your shoes? You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues First they tell you that your brother's not the same Then they come and they tell you that your sister is to blame Oh, then they tell you there's no heaven up above, oh Lord now They put a knife in your neck and tell you all you need is love Now tell me do you wanna be free? Oh Lord, yes Now tell me do you wanna be free? Hey now Are you ready, do you wanna be free? Oh, come on now Come on, tell me, do you wanna be free? Do you wanna be free? Tell the lawyers that I paid my bills Dotted the line when I signed my will Hey mama, won't you tie your shoes? You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues
