Snake Mountain Blues Lyrics
Mr. ten dollar man
Let me tell you where you're bound
You drink your green liquor
Lord, you'll roll to the ground
But you come around here
With your money in your hand
Taste of my woman
You'll die where you stand
Snake Mountain's gonna crumble
Lord, and fall from the sky
'Til that woman of mine
Keeps on telling her lies
If I'd die Lord, she'd weep
She'd weep and she'd mourn
As soon as I's buried
Forget I'd been born
Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train
And the first winds of winter
Well, I'll see him again
And it's goodbye to that yellow-headed misery I've known
Snake Mountain is callin'
Is callin' me home
Got the Snake Mountain blues X4
Got the Snake Mountain blues X4
*[One verse of the original is left out.
It goes something like this:
Well the Snake Mountain blues
Have got me down low
I could die in the morning
And no one would know
Well, my woman comes round
My body she'd found
Go down to Dundee
(And) Have her a time
Let me tell you where you're bound
You drink your green liquor
Lord, you'll roll to the ground
With your money in your hand
Taste of my woman
You'll die where you stand
Lord, and fall from the sky
'Til that woman of mine
Keeps on telling her lies
She'd weep and she'd mourn
As soon as I's buried
Forget I'd been born
And the first winds of winter
Well, I'll see him again
Snake Mountain is callin'
Is callin' me home
Got the Snake Mountain blues X4
*[One verse of the original is left out.
It goes something like this:
Have got me down low
I could die in the morning
And no one would know
My body she'd found
Go down to Dundee
(And) Have her a time
