(well now, hold on)
Woke up to the sun high in the western sky Left my
spurs by the kitchen door Put my right leg down to walk
on the wooden floor
Felt a wiggle in my leather shoe And I knew just what
to do
There is a snake in my boot (yes it is) Yeah,
there is a snake in my boot (rattling around) I cannot run,
I cannot shoot
There is a snake in my boot
He is green and black,
he is long and lean
Coldest creature that you have ever seen
He has taken up a home
in my leather heel And you should feel the way I feel
(oh lordy)
There is a snake in my boot (watch out now) Yeah,
there is a snake in my boot (rattling around) I cannot run,
I cannot shoot
There is a snake in my boot
(just a-wiggling) (shhhh)
