I knew a man with a snakeskin belt
Said it was his lucky charm
As long as he was wearing it
He never came to any harm
A woman came to his bed one night
And stole it so they say
I can't tell the right from wrong
But he was sure dead the next day

Now you take heed of this deed
Keep your eyes open and your flies shut tight
Yeah you take heed of this deed
And you might yeah you might just be alright

I knew a gal down Frisco way
Had a thing for a married man
He saw that look in her eye sometime
But he didn't give a damn
That was his first mistake my friend
His first mistake and last
His wife saw that look and shot him twice
For playing loose and fast

Now you take heed of this deed
Keep your flies open and your eyes shut tight
Yeah you take heed of this deed
And you might yeah you might just be alright>

1. Snakeskin
(McGowan) A laid back country flavoured song. The 'percussion' is me opening and closing my mouth fast – like a stranded fish! Sounds OK to me. --Davy --Davy

You fish speaking bastard! One more lovely tune. I wonder how many tracks you have written with the same name as Donovan has done? Who cares, this is so much better than 90 % of Donovan's work. I love the dobro & harmonica especially -- Jore
