Tom Rush - Black Mountain Blues lyrics

Traditional On black mountain child will spit in your face baby on black mountain child will spit in your face all the babies cry for whiskey all the birds sing ba** On black mountain they as mean as they can be Old black mountain they as mean as they can be call for gunpowder Just to sweeten they tea Had a girl in black mountain Sweetest little woman in town Had a girl in black mountain Sweetest girl in town But she met a sweet black man Then she threw me down Well, old black mountain Can't keep man in jail Well, old black mountain Can't keep man in jail if the jury find him guilty Judge gonna go his bail I'm goin' back to black mountain Me and my razor and my gun I'm goin' back to black mountain Me and my razor and my gun Gonna cut her if she stands there And shoot her if she runs
