He moved from town to town, place to place
Killing and eating and serving the chase
Doing the only thing he knew how to do
Taking the life of another
Diamondback they called him and he took it with pride
He had always felt like a rattler deep down inside
He killed just as they did, to eat and survive
Feeding on the passive cattle
A man in one town, a woman in the next
A child, playing, who he happen to vex
Refusal to acknowledge wouldn't spare his meal
All fell to his vicious hunger
Once while taking the meat from his kill
He saw a rattler bite a cat then go still
He blinked and the rattler was gone which revealed
Just the cat... with a rat... in his mouth...
Then, while dining in a hole he had found
A man busted in and pinned Diamond down
He stuck his shotgun in Diamondback's mouth
And screamed as he pulled the trigger
Now the cops made a big deal and the man sat and cried
Diamondback's corpse still lay twisted inside
But anybody whose anybody knows how to deal
With a big ol' rattler whose chose you for a meal
You blow its goddammn head off
