Northern Water Snake
LYRICS
Are you awake?
There’s a big ass snake
Swimming in our water
You may wish to go no further
Why did he pick today
To come out and play
Silently slithering with no wake
Look! Upon the rock top
Coiled in the sun
Do you fell the urge to run?
Stop!
You’re sure you’re the cure
Mixer of the fixer elixir
Or snake oil salesman?
Amen
ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — D (slithering slide)
G A D
E D
Written and recorded on the banks of the Brandywine River in Lenape, PA. The song was inspired by a large (over four feet long) Northern Water Snake. It crawled out from under the rocks I was sitting on, swam through the swimming hole and sunned itself on rocks on the other side.
Daniel — Vocals, Guitar
From the album Flow Show For Sure
