Black Snake Moan Lyrics

Leadbelly Black Snake Moan

I ain't got no mama now
I ain't got no mama now
She told me late last night, "You didn't need no mama no
how"

Mmm... mmm... black snake crawlin' in my room
Mmm... mmm... black snake crawlin' in my room

Better tell somebody better come and get this ¿...? black
snake soon
Oh... oh... that must have been a bed bug, cause a chinch
coudn't bite me that hard
Oh... oh... that must have been a bed bug, honey a chinch
can't bite me that hard
Ask my ...? for fifty cents, she said "Lemon, ain't a
child in the yard"
Honey, that's all right, that's all right for you
Honey, that's all right, that's all right for you
Darling that's all right, there ain't no way with you"

Mmm... mmm... what's the matter now?
Mmm... mmm... honey what's the matter now?

Tell me what's the matter, baby, don't like no black
snake no how
Where... wonder where my black snake gone?
Where... wonder where this black snake gone?
Black snake mama done run my darlin' home
