Black Snake Moan

Most seen all way you do
Mama, that's all right
Mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room

Mmm, what's the matter now?
She said, "Lemon, ain't a child in the yard"
Mama, that's all right

Well, wonder where this black snake gone?
Mama, that's all right for you
Lord, that black snake mama
"You don't need no mama, no how"
You know a chinch can't bite that hard
Oh, that must been the bed bug
Mmm, honey, what's the matter now?

Oh, that must been the bed bug
I don't like no black snake, no how
Tell me what's the matter, baby?
She told me late last night
And some pretty mama had better come
You know a chinch can't bite that hard
Asked my baby for fifty cents
Say, baby, that's all right

Well, wonder where this black snake gone?
Mama, that's all right for you
Mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
And get this black snake soon
