Текст песне : Kate Campbell. Wandering Strange. 10,000 Lures.

Wasn?t no copperhead, wasn?t no cottonmouth
Just a garden snake that brought us all down
It didn?t look deadly, didn?t look venomous
Wrapped around that tree so lovely and sensuous

There?s vices and voodoo always enticing you
From the day that you?re born ?til the day you leave this world
The devil?s got a line for you for sure and 10,000 lures

You may think I?m preaching, even evangelizing
But what he?s throwing out can be so tantalizing
He?s a master of disguise, he?ll reel you in with power
Roaming to and fro seeking whom he may devour

He knows every weakness, knows just when to strike
You know he was an angel once and he knows what you like
For you it might be money, for me it might be fame
Better cover up your ears now when he whispers your name

Before I end this song, before the music?s through
Oh I?d like to share a good word or two
There?s 10,000 angels watching over you
From the day that you?re born ?til the day you leave this world
Three rusty nails, that?s the cure for 10,000 lures
