Snakebit (Album Version) - Mary Gauthier

Written by：Hayes Carll

The children are crying they never got their supper

Where would you run to in the darkness of the night

Even shadows fear to wander

They gather round me in the candlelight

Your crucifix broken bloody sharp and shattered

I smashed it to pieces on the bedroom floor

Pain and prayers and promises scattered

Then I pulled the pistol from the dresser drawer

Oh Lord

What have I done

Everything worth holding slips through my fingers

Now my hands wrapped around the handle of a gun

The further I fall the less I falter

Forsaken forgotten without love

A slow motion whisper turns into a holler

40 years of push turns into shove

Oh Lord

What have I done

Everything worth holding slips through my fingers

Now my wrapped around the handle of a gun

The chair that I sit in belong to my daddy

Carved from the hard wood of a bitter tree

When he was alive he used to tell me kid

I knew when you were born you'd end up snake bit like me

Oh Lord

What have I done

Everything worth holding slips through my fingers

Now my hands wrapped around the handle of a gun

I'm holding on to the handle of a gun
