Rattlesnake Ace Poem by Richard Jarboe

Rattlesnake Ace



I once knew Rattlesnake Ace,
Kept his snakes in a old suitcase,
Rattlesnakes all over the place,
In the shack of Rattlesnake Ace.

Rattlesnake Ace Rattlesnake Ace,
Toothless smile coming out of his face,
Rattlesnake Ace Rattlesnake Ace,
Sliding from the law without a trace.

Rattlesnake Ace lived in the pine,
I can't say he was a friend of mine,
He'd sell a few snakes to the zoo,
Or skin 'em on down and make him a shoe.

Rattlesnake Ace ain't with us now,
Where he is is hard to tell,
Wherever it is I wish him well,
But I'll bet it's hot as Hell.
