[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I love [D]my baby
like a bull dog loves his bone
[G]Last night she got crazy,
called me up on the [D]phone
Said, "Come on over, daddy
[A]'Cause I hates drinkin' alo[D]ne"

[Verse 2]
Said, [D]"I had me a little and
I had to have a little more
[G]Try to get up, could not get out the [D]door
And there's a [A]big ole snake
That's crawlin' right across
[D]the floor"

[Verse 3]
My [D]baby's not afraid to
take a chance
[Bm]Drinkin' whiskey starts her
[D]thinkin' about romance
[Bm]That's when [A]she wants
what I keep [D]in my pants

[Verse 4]
I [D]know she's got [G]a few [Bm]trick
s up [D]her sleeve
When she [G]gets hot it's not [D]hard to believe
So I told my [A]baby
Just what Adam [Bm]said to [D]Eve

[D]Hold that snake 'til I make it
Hold on 'til your daddy gets there
Just [G]grab his head and shake it

Take [A]it easy but take it
But don't let [D]go of that snake
