Black Snake Moan

[Spoken] I ain't played for nobody in years I wanted me some kids, a whole mess of 'em But for Rose, my wife, kids is for another time Then one spring I seent the change in her Her breasts started swelling up Couple of mornings, hear her in the bathroom throwing up I done seen it in other women before So I knew Then one day Rose said she had to go to Jackson Visit her folks And she ain't wanted me to go So I stayed here You know how they talk about a woman having that glow? She didn't have it no more She done cut it out Got rid of it That voice in my head Every time I think it's gone It comes howling back Calls me when I'm ailing When I can't find my way home Lost in the pines I calls it the Black Snake Moan [sung] Mmmmmmmmmm Black snake all in my room Mmmmmmmmmm Black snake all in my room Some pretty mamma Better get this black snake soon Black snake is evil Black snake is all I see Black snake is evil Black snake is all I see Woke up this morning Black snake moved in on me
