Tres Grand Serpent

Prettiest girl I ever seen
 Love so good but act so mean
 Lips so wet and eyes so green
 Fell on down for the devil's dream
 Fell in love, nothing I can do
 Love someone, but don't love you
 I'd love her again if I had the chance to
 Tres grand serpent atour de mon cou
 Grand serpent around my neck
 Atour de mon cou, losin' my head
 Feelin' fine, doin' bad
 Best of times, the worst I had
 Grand serpent around my neck
 Atour de mon cou, losin' my head
 ♪
 Stayed too late at the bar last night
 Drank too much and got into a fight
 Honk this tonk until the daylight
 Tied one on way too tight
 If the rain don't shine and the sky's still blue
 Sun don't pour but the bars still do
 Having a time, yes I do

 Feelin' fine, doin' bad
 Best of times, the worst I had

 Me and my pals at a poker game
 Sittin' on top thought I had it made
 Went all in when I should have stayed
 Had the boat but fo'kind played
 Lost my dough, feelin mighty blue
 Asked 'em for a loan and what did they do
 Gave me all my money but I lost that too

 Grand serpent around my neck
 Atour de mon cou, losin' my head
 Feelin' fine, doin' bad
 Best of times, the worst I had
 Grand serpent around my neck
 Atour de mon cou, losin' my head
 Nothin' to do, nothin' to say
 Always been bein' this way
 Always bad, always a fool
