My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
My daddy was a man of God
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
In south Alabama

He knew the Good Book real good
And knew the bad all too well
He spent his life rattling cages
And running that Devil's ass back to hell, now

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
My daddy was a man of God
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
In south Alabama
My daddy was the Devil's undertaker
My daddy was a saver of souls
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
Just like his daddy before him was

He was all fire and brimstone
Firewater on his breath
Spittin' 90-proof truth to a tent full of sinners
'Til there wasn't one single unsaved soul left, son

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
My daddy was a man of God
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
In south Alabama
My daddy was the Devil's undertaker
My daddy was a saver of souls
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
Just like his daddy before him was

I tell my boy all about his Papaw
How to learn how to chase the devil away
Someday I'll lay a rattlesnake down
So he can pick it up, shake it at a sinner, and say

My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
My daddy was a man of God
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
In south Alabama, Alabama!
My daddy was the Devil's undertaker
My daddy was a saver of souls
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
Just like his daddy before him was

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
My daddy told me so
