That Black Snake Moan (Take 2) - Blind Lemon Jefferson

I ain’t got no mama now

I ain’t got no mama now

She told me late last night

«You don’t need no mama, no how»

Mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room

Mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room

And some pretty mama had better come

And get this black snake soon

Oh, that must been the bed bug

You know a chinch can’t bite that hard

Oh, that must been the bed bug

You know a chinch can’t bite that hard

Asked my baby for fifty cents

She said, «Lemon, ain’t a child in the yard»

Mama, that’s all right

Mama, that’s all right for you

Mama, that’s all right

Mama, that’s all right for you

Say, baby, that’s all right

Most seen all way you do

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, no how

Well, wonder where this black snake gone?

Well, wonder where this black snake gone?

Lord, that black snake mama

Done run my darlin' home
