Snakebit Lyrics - Mary Gauthier

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 is 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, oh Lord 

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 

The slow motion whisper turns into a holler 

Forty years of push turns into a shove 

Oh Lord, oh Lord 

Oh Lord, what have I done? 

Everything worth holding just slips through my fingers 

Now my hands wrapped around the handle of a gun 

The chair that I sit in belonged to my daddy 

Carved from the hard wood of a bitter tree 

When he was alive he used tell me 

? Kid I knew when you was born 

You? d end up snake bit like me?

Oh Lord, oh Lord 

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
