"Rattlesnake Preacher" lyrics

They call him Joe the Grinder
That may be his name
You better call him Diamond Joe
If you want to make a game

Diamond Joe
Come on, talk to me, talk to me

He's a rattlesnake preacher
Marchin' through the land
If you ain't got the grace of God
He'll strike you where you stand

Diamond Joe
Come on, talk to me, talk to me

He don't mind the weather
He don't mind the rain
He could walk in a fiery furnace
And he'd never feel no pain

Diamond Joe
Come on, talk to me, talk to me

And here's what he said

He said, "You know you wouldn't mind dyin'
You would not feel no pain
You know you got to die
Before you can live again"

Diamond Joe
Come on, talk to me, talk to me
Sweet Diamond Joe
