Black snake is 'ceitful, crawlin' all in my bed
I say, black snake deceitful, crawlin' all in my bed
I had a dream last night, black snake had k**ed my baby dead
Hey, hey, mama, black snake's lyin' all in my hall
Hey, mama, black snake is all in my hall
And if you quit me, mama, you can't see that black snake at all
Listen here, mama, black snake is wearin' my clothes
Ohhh, listen here, mama, black snake is wearin' my clothes
And I told you about it, and you put my trunk outdoors
Take me back, mama, I won't be bad no more
I said take me back, mama, I can't be bad no more
And you can get my loving if you let that black snake go
Black snake crawler, he said he don't mean no harm
Black snake crawler, he say he don't mean no harm
But I'm gettin' tired of that black snake lyin' in my baby's arms
