Snake Lyrics by Ronnie Lane

One for the Road

1976

[Verse 1]
Snakey came by yesterday
Snakey brought his gun
Me and he went o'er the hill
He got nine, I shot none
Oh, you should have heard him tell the rat and the raccoon
But my mind was somewhere else
My mind was all on you
'Cause if I ain't got you, babe
I don't got nothing at all
If I ain't got you, babe
I ain't got nothin' at all
[Verse 2]
Oh, clackity clack, clackity clack
A train run down the railroad track
It's pulling me away from her
And her ways and our days together
Ooh, clackity clack, clackity clack
Everytime we say goodbye
It looks like it's the end
I guess that you could truly say
That I'm in love my friend
'Cause if I ain't got her, babe
I ain't got nothing at all
Oh, if I ain't got she, baby
I ain't got nothing at all
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Oh, clackity clack, clackity clack
A train run down the railroad track
It's pulling me away from her
And her ways and our days together
Ooh, clackity clack, clackity clack
Everytime we say goodbye
It feels like it's the end
Well, I guess that you could truly say
That I'm in love my friend
'Cause if I ain't got her, you know
I ain't got nothing at all
Ooh, if I ain't got her, you know
I ain't got nothing at all
Go on Stevie
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Me and snakey came by yesterday
Snakey brought his gun
Me and he went o'er the hill
He shot five and I got none
Oh, you should have heard him tell the rat and the raccoon
But my mind was somewhere else
My mind was all on you
'Cause if I ain't got you, babe
I ain't got nothing at all
Ooh, if I ain't got you, babe
I ain't got nothin' at all
Ooh, if I ain't got you, babe
I ain't got nothing at all
Oh, if I ain't got you, baby
I ain't got nothing at all
