The Snake Handler's Vow
TitanChord
Intro
I took her hand inside the cage
Verse 1
Tent revival, August heat
Sawdust floor and folding chairs
Box of copperheads on the altar
Brother said amen four times
Pre-Chorus
I held the rattler up
She held the gold band tight
I made the holy vow
By the kerosene light
Chorus
The snake handler's vow, the snake handler's vow
Til the venom or the savior take us down
Took her hand inside the cage
Til the snake handler's vow runs out
Verse 2
She didn't know about the deacon's wife
She didn't know about the second name
She didn't know I'd lost the deed
She didn't know she signed the same
Pre-Chorus
I held the rattler up
She held the gold band tight
I made the holy vow
By the kerosene light
Chorus
The snake handler's vow, the snake handler's vow
Til the venom or the savior take us down
Took her hand inside the cage
Til the snake handler's vow runs out
Bridge
I took your hand inside the cage
I knew the box, I knew the song
I made the vow on borrowed pages
I knew the preacher had it wrong
The snake handler's vow, the snake handler's vow
Til the venom or the savior take us down
Took her hand inside the cage
Til the snake handler's vow runs out
