The Snakeskin Man
Lyrics:
There's a stranger in the old hotel who looks
like a prosperous man from the West
And though he hides behind the covers of a Spanish mystery book
The Cherokee is who he's come to make arrest
The Cherokee is who he's come to make arrest
When the outlander thirsted for a sip of mountain shine
He traded carved snake head canes to Cherokee
But when the forked tongue had tasted of the Indian sour mash,
The rattler struck, and lightning draw arrested three
The rattler struck, and lightning draw arrested three
CHORUS
Cherokee, you are the reason
he has come unto these hills
Your liquor stills attracted agents of the law
His serpent stick's a Devil's trick,
He'll charm you first before it kills
His fighting name is Mister Quick, the Lightning Draw
The Snake Stick Man, his fighting name the Lightning Draw
