"Rattler And The Devil's Whip" lyrics

Mm

Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip
People go missing on the Blue Ridge
Take heed to a warning when its given to you
Don't mock the mountains or they'll take you too, ooh

Mammaw used to say, "Don't you go too far
And don't you go whistling after dark
And never look too hard up into the trees
No, you may not like what you see
There's a strange shade of blue in the porch lights
And things that call your name in the dead of the night
Keep away from the fog that moves against the wind, no
Nothing out there's your friend"

Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip
People go missing on the Blue Ridge
Take heed to a warning when its given to you
Don't mock the mountains or they'll take you too, ooh

Mm

Well, it's twenty-five miles over two hundred turns
That's where the Harley's hum and the rubber burns
If you find yourself unlucky off the beaten path
No, you may not be making it back

Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip
People go missing on the Blue Ridge
Take heed to a warning when its given to you
Don't mock the mountains or they'll take you too, ooh

Take you too, uh-huh

Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip
Well, down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip

Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip
People go missing on the Blue Ridge
Take heed to a warning when its given to you
Don't mock the mountains or they'll take you too

Take you too, uh-huh
