Abernathy Lyrics by Rattlesnake Milk

Rattlesnake Milk

2020

I saw ya mama on the county line
We spent the night down underneath the stars
Making love in a Chevrolet
In the backseat baby down there behind the barn

Yeah and your eyes hit me like a lighting bolt
Told you mama, one day you’re gonna be my bride, yeah
We got married in a cotton gin
Come February you were carrying my child
Well, I was plantin’ cotton for a friend of mine
When a letter came in the mail down from uncle Sam
Didn’t even have to read the words
Knew he sent my ass off to Vietnam

Yeah and that thing hit you like a lightning bolt
And you cried your eyes as the sun rolled around the bend, yeah
And I wiped a tear from the wedding band
Told you mama I’d see you once again

And in the end, if ya die
Know my ghost is gonna come and haunt you
Hold me close now mama and know
Someday everything’s gonna be just fine
The father, son, the holy ghost
Every one of them wants you
So ride with me on down to Abernathy
Gonna get on down the line

Ready, locked and loaded
On night patrol, he heard them bastards hiding out down the hill
We started firing down across the draw
I could hear that devil below and the blood will spill

Yeah and that steel hit me like a lightning bolt
And I could feel that bullet
Rip through the flesh and bone, yeah
And I said a prayer, I was laying there
And asked the lord to help me to make it home

And in the end, if ya die
Know my ghost is gonna come and haunt you
Hold my head up, mama knows
Someday everything’s gonna be just fine
The father, son, and holy ghost
Every one of them wants you
So ride with me on down to Abernathy
Gonna get on down the line

So rider went on down to Abernathy
Gonna get on down the line
