Fire in the Blood/Snake Song
[Verse 1: Ralph Stanley]
Come walk with me through the pines
In the morning sun
The birds are singing in the pines
In the morning sun
[Verse 2: Ralph Stanley]
Come stand with me, my darling one
Among the trembling pines
We feel His presence all around
Fire in the sky
[Verse 3: Emmylou Harris]
You can’t hold me, I’m too slippery
I do no sleeping, I get lonely
You can touch me if you want to
I got poison, I just might bite you
[Verse 4: Emmylou Harris]
Lie in circles, on the sunlight
Shine like diamonds on a dark night
Ain't no mercy in my smilin'
Only fangs and sweet beguiling
[Verse 5: Emmylou Harris]
Future, he don’t try to find me
Skin I’ve been through dies behind me
Solid hollow wrapped in hatred
Not a drop of venom wasted
[Verse 6: Emmylou Harris]
You can slip in, try to find me
Hold your breath and flat deny me
Makes no difference to my thinking
I’ll be here when you start sinking
Come walk with me through the pines
In the morning sun
The birds are singing in the pines
In the morning sun
[Verse 2: Ralph Stanley]
Come stand with me, my darling one
Among the trembling pines
We feel His presence all around
Fire in the sky
[Verse 3: Emmylou Harris]
You can’t hold me, I’m too slippery
I do no sleeping, I get lonely
You can touch me if you want to
I got poison, I just might bite you
[Verse 4: Emmylou Harris]
Lie in circles, on the sunlight
Shine like diamonds on a dark night
Ain't no mercy in my smilin'
Only fangs and sweet beguiling
[Verse 5: Emmylou Harris]
Future, he don’t try to find me
Skin I’ve been through dies behind me
Solid hollow wrapped in hatred
Not a drop of venom wasted
[Verse 6: Emmylou Harris]
You can slip in, try to find me
Hold your breath and flat deny me
Makes no difference to my thinking
I’ll be here when you start sinking
