[Intro]
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
My daddy was a man of God
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
In south Alabama

[Verse 1]
He knew the good book real good
And knew the bad all too well
He spent his lifetime rattlin' cages
And runnin’ that devil's ass back to Hell

[Chorus]
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
My daddy was a man of God
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
In south Alabama
My daddy was the Devil's undertaker
My daddy was a saver of souls
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
Just like his daddy before him was

[Verse 2]
Well he was all fire and brimstone
Firewater on his breath
Spittin’ 90-proof truth to a tent full of sinners
'Til there wasn't one single unsaved soul left, son
[Chorus]
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
My daddy was a man of God
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
In south Alabama
My daddy was the Devil's undertaker
My daddy was a saver of souls
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
Just like his daddy before him was

[Verse 3]
I tell my boy all about his pa-paw
And how to learn how to chase the devil away
Some day I'll lay a rattlesnake down
And he'll pick it up, shake it at a sinner, and say

[Chorus]
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
My daddy was a man of God
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
In south Alabama, Alabama
My daddy was the Devil's undertaker
My daddy was a saver of souls
My daddy was a rattlesnake preacher
Just like his daddy before him was
Like his daddy before him was
[Outro]
I sing, yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
My daddy told me so
