Lyrics

[Intro] Mm [Chorus] Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip People go missing on the Blue Ridge Take heed to a warning when its given to you Don't mock the mountains or they'll take you too, ooh [Verse 1] Mamaw used to say, "Don't you go too far And don't you go whistling after dark And never look too hard up into the trees No, you may not like what you see There's a strange shade of blue in the porch lights And things that call your name in the dead of the night Keep away from the fog that moves against the window Nothing out there's your friend" [Chorus] Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip People go missing on the Blue Ridge Take heed to a warning when its given to you Don't mock the mountains or they'll take you too, ooh [Post-Chorus] Mm [Verse 2] Well, it's twenty-five miles over two hundred turns That's where the Harleys hum and the rubber burns If you find yourself unlucky off the beaten path No, you may not be making it back [Chorus] Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip People go missing on the Blue Ridge Take heed to a warning when its given to you Don't mock the mountains or they'll take you too, ooh [Post-Chorus] Take you too, uh-huh [Bridge] Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip Well, down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip [Chorus] Down near the Rattler and the Devil's Whip People go missing on the Blue Ridge Take heed to a warning when its given to you Don't mock the mountains or they'll take you too [Outro] Take you too, uh-huh
