Open the windows and close the curtains
A glass of wine and a bottle of bourbon I ride
Yeah my head is so tired
My constitution is strong and I'm in my prime
At the height of my sermon I'll burn like a leaf
Like a leaf in that old pipe

I don’t need your father
Yeah I'm my own man
I don’t bamboozle baby
I got no snakes in hand
You ain’t your mother’s daughter
You got two legs to stand
I don’t bamboozle baby
I got no snakes in hand
No snakes in hand

Oscillate to the beat I can twist on a dime
Chase some loving and I'll die at twenty-five
The girls are inside just talking dresses
The boys are outside just making messes
Bless your heart Josephine, you're the only skirt I see

I don’t need your father
Yeah I'm my own man
I don’t bamboozle baby
I got no snakes in hand
(I got no snakes in hand)
You ain’t your mother’s daughter
You got two legs to stand
I don’t bamboozle baby
I got no snakes in hand

I got no snakes in hand

I don’t need your father
Yeah I'm my own man
I don’t bamboozle baby
I got no snakes in hand
(I got no snakes in hand)
You ain’t your mother’s daughter
You got two legs to stand
I don’t bamboozle baby
I got no snakes in hand
(I got no snakes in hand)
