Mr. Greensnake
Lyrics By Albert Steppi
I smoke cigars like they are cigarettes, drink whiskey like its wine.
Drink wine like its water; love your woman like she was mine.
I asked that gypsy lady just who the devil be. Everyone is afraid of the devil but the devil is afraid of me.
Everywhere I go the people say in harsh tones.
The plague is surely walking, everywhere that man roams.
I get up early one morning with the old star shining down.
Look out over your dying light burn the city to the ground.
You can ask those shattered people just who that devil be.
But everyone's afraid of the devil but the devil is afraid of me.
Everywhere I go the people say in harsh tones.
The plague is sure now walking, everywhere that man roams.
They said Jesus walked on water and Moses split the sea.
Ain't no lord gonna save you now since you met the likes of me.
I asked that old man preacher just who that devil be.
Everyone's afraid of the devil. The devil's only afraid of me.
Everywhere I go the people say in harsh tones.
The plague is surely walking, everywhere that man roams.
Everywhere I go the people say in harsh tones.
The plague is surely walking, everywhere that man roams.
