Snake in My Grass - Robert Finley

I got a snake crawling in my grass

And I can’t catch him

He’s just a little bit too fast

I got a snake crawling in my grass

And I can’t catch him

He’s just a little bit too fast

I told my neighbor, I told my friend

Try to help me stop that old snake from coming in

But once I told him what my baby was trying to do

Don’t you know my neighbor, he start trying to get him too

Oh something going on and I know it ain’t right

But she’s not satisfied till' my phone rang every night

I got a snake crawling in my grass

And I can’t catch him

He’s just a little bit too fast

But I know it’s a snake, he’s crawling in my grass

And one of these days I’m gonna cross his path

The lowdown dirty snake, let me tell you what he do

He bites my old lady and chumming my children too

And even my baby won’t tell me his name

What he done to my family ya’ll, is a crying shame

Whatever he done, he must be doin' it right

She’s not satisfied till' my phone rang every night

I got a snake, he’s crawling in my grass

And I can’t stop him

I guess he’s moving a bit too fast

I got a snake, he’s crawling in my grass

And one of these days, I got to cross his path

Late home from work one night, tryin' to catch him in my home

But by the time I made it back, he bit my girl and gone

I never him, but I can tell when he been there

Whenever he come ya’ll, he leave such a funky smell

Whatever he done, he must be doin' it right

Cause she’s not satisfied till that phone rang every night

I got a snake crawling in my grass

And I can’t catch him

I guess he’s a little bit too fast

I got a dirty snake crawling in my grass

And one of these days

I’m gonna cross his path

Dirty snake
