Snake-Handlin' Man Songtext
von Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer

Baby i was born to the blood in the service of the lord of hosts
Marched through the valley of the shadow of death at the biddin′ of the holy ghost
Baby i would
Hey, baby, you know i can

Holy fire down in my belly and brimstone in my eyes
Everything that a woman might need and the need just might arise
I'm a light-bringer and a soul-singer
I′m a snake-handlin' man

Six-foot cottonmouth hangin' from a tree on a sultry summer night
Sling that serpent around my neck and i take him for a ride
Baby i would
Hey, baby, you know i can

′Cause i got a heart that shines in the dark like the road to the pearly gates
You come creepin′ up the slow lane baby but you know i just can't wait
I′m a fire-walker and a straight-talker
I'm a snake-handlin′ man


Mix that poison up good and strong and lift it to my lips
I'll go preachin′ in the pale moonlight with a viper in my grip
Baby i would
Hey, baby, you know i can

Nobody gonna turn me 'round or make me feel ashamed
I got the power and i got the right, i'm written in the book of names
Wadin′ that river jordan
I′m a snake-handlin' man

Well i got the armor and i got the shield and i got the sword of truth
Takin′ that angel harp in hand, gonna pick it with a rattler's tooth
Baby i would
Hey, baby, you know i can

Build this tower on the rock of ages and it reaches to the sky
Straight and tall as jacob′s ladder, i'm here to testify
Can i get a witness
I′m a snake-handlin' man

Speakin in lost tongues sayin' praised be jesus
I′m a snake-handlin′ man
