I was setting on the bank with, my fishin pole in hand.
The sun was shinnin bright and warm,and I was soakin up some tan.
I heard some thrashin in the water,just over there behind a log.
I peeked over to see what it was,and saw a snake that had a frog.
Now I know bass eat a lot of frogs,and frogs sure make good bait.
So I grabbed the snake behind its head,and snatched the frog before it was ate.
Now the snake was a cotton mouth,and had wrapped around my arm.
I knew if I were to let him go,he’d take a bite, and do me harm.
So I grabbed my bottle of Tequila,filled his mouth and made him drink.
He straightened up, then went dishrag limp,and I throwed him down the bank.
I found another place went back to fishin,I was settin between two logs.
When I felt something tap me on the toe,It was that snake with two more frogs.
And that’s my story and I’m stickin to it.
