Blacksnake Blues

He's a mean black snake
Suckin' on my rider's tongue
There's a mean, mean black snake
Oh, sucking on my rider's tongue
Hey-hey

You know if I go and catch him down
Oh, I guarantee, he won't be comin' back no more

Oh, it crawled up in my window
Oh, and he crawled up in my bed
Oh, he crawled up in my window
Oh, and he crawled up into my bed

Well, he's a mean, mean, mean black snake
Oh, I sure gonna kill him dead

You worry me all through the day
You worry me all night long

You worry me all through the day
Worry me all night long

But I can bet you my bottom dollar
Won't be suckin' my rider's tongue no more

Mean, mean, mean black snake
Suckin' my rider's tongue
Whoa, there's a mean, mean black snake
Suckin' my rider's tongue

Oh, if I catch him down
He won't be suckin' my rider's tongue no more

Mix me up some toad frog hip
Old John the Conqueror's done no good
Mix me up some toad frog hip
Old John the Conqueror's done no good

Gonna put grave dirt on his doorstep
And I'll be rid of him for good
