Black Snake Moan (OKeh Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hey, ain't got no mama now Hey, ain't got no mama now She told me late last night, "You don't need no mama nohow" [Verse 2] Mmm, black snake crawling in my room Mmm, black snake crawling in my room And some pretty mama had better come and get this black snake soon [Verse 3] Oh, that must be the bedbugs, you know a chinch can't bite that hard Oh, that must be the bedbugs, you know a chinch can't bite that hard Asked my baby for 50 cents, she said "Lemon, ain't a child in the yard?" [Verse 4] Mama, that's all right, mama, that's all right for you Mama, that's all right, mama, that's all right for you Said baby, that's all right most any old way you do [Verse 5] Mmm, what's the matter now? Mmm, honey, what's the matter now? Tell me what's the matter, baby? "I don't like no black snake nohow" [Verse 6] Well, wonder where the black snake gone Well, wonder where the black snake gone Good Lord, that black snake mama done run my darlin' home
