Tres Grand Serpent by The Deslondes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Prettiest girl I ever seen
Loves so good but acts so mean
Lips so wet and her eyes so green
Fell on down for the devil's dream
Fell in love, nothing I could do
Love someone that don't love you
I'd love her again if I had a chance to
Tres grand serpent autour de mon cou

[Chorus]
Grand serpent around my neck
Autour de mon cou, losing my head
Feeling fine, doing bad
Best of times, the worst I had
Grand serpent around my neck
Autour de mon cou, losing my head

[Verse 2]
Stayed too late at the bar last night
Drank too much and got into a fight
Holds his call until daylight
Tied one on way too tight
If the rain don't shine and the sky's still blue
Sun don't pour but the bar still do
Having a time, yes I do
Tres grand serpent autour de mon cou
[Chorus]
Grand serpent around my neck
Autour de mon cou, losing my head
Feeling fine, doing bad
Best of times, the worst I had
Grand serpent around my neck
Autour de mon cou, losing my head

[Verse 3]
Me and my pals at a poker game
Sitting on top, thought I had it made
Went all in when I should have stayed
Had the boat but four a'kind played
Lost my dough, feeling might blue
Asked them for a loan and what did they do?
Gave me all my money but I lost that too
Tres grand serpent autour de mon cou

[Chorus]
Grand serpent around my neck
Autour de mon cou, losing my head
Feeling fine, doing bad
Best of times, the worst I had
Grand serpent around my neck
Autour de mon cou, losing my head
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Always been being this way
Always bad, always the fool
Tres grand serpent autour de mon cou
