I just can't seem to shake off
These hellbilly blues
They follow me around all day
No matter what i do
The crows all ate the cornseed
There's death at the fishin' hole
I found my brother drown and strangeld
By his own line and pole
They're with me through the night and day
No matter what i do
I just can't seem to shake off
These hellbilly blues
Satan in the wood pile
There's a devil in the barn
There's demons in the tractor
Raisin' hell on the farm
Kids have all got fever
And the horse had a broken leg
I get down on one knee and beg
They're with me through the night and day
No matter what i do
I just can't seem to shake off
Those hellbilly blues
Wine and whiskey never did us any harm
But when the white lighting strikes
You better sound that fire alarm
Well i went down to the great revival
Just so's i could pray
An' i saw this crazy preacher man
Walkin my way
His arms were filled with poison snakes
And he passed 'em all around
There were people talkin backwards
And fallin' on the ground
He said son just grab a serpent
It's the only thing to do
To get you done and over
With them hellblly blues
