Ol Snake Lyrics - Singles - Fletcher Jowers

The parson came out one hot afternoon 

Us cowboys were laying around 

He said boys I've come out here to make ya'll a deal 

It's a good one that you won't turn down 

Now I'll ride the meanest bronc here on this place 

Stay with him 'till he bucks no more 

If next Sunday morning I'll find you in church 

Singing and praising The Lord 

Well it didn't take long and we all agreed 

We'd be there come sunshire or rain 

Cause we had a wild one that had never been rode 

An old fleabitten gray we called Snake 

Ol snake was a bad one he'd kick and he'd bite 

That's how he come by his name 

He'd fight you and buck and never give up 

We all knew he'd never be tame 

We roped him out and saddled him up 

Snubbed him up tight to the post 

The parson climbed on him and pulled down his hat 

Said okay boys now let him go 

Ol Snake quit the earth he chinned the moon 

He was diving, squealing and mad 

But through it all the parson set tall 

He was talking to him and he said 

Now ol bronc you're a tough one but I won't be thrown 

Cause I've got The Lord on my side 

So when you quit having your fit 

We'll go out on the prairie and ride 

Ol Snake finally settled and hung his old head 

The parson stepped down off his back 

Said I'll see you boys Sunday morning in church 

Praise The Lord for a good horse like that 

Now on Sunday mornings you'll find us in church 

Praising The Lord as we sing 

Ol Snake is tied under the shade tree outside 

CAUSE HE'S THE TOP HORSE IN MY STRING 

NOW HE'S THE TOP HORSE IN MY STRING
