Nick Drake
Black Mountain Blues
[Verse 1]
Old Black Mountain
Tried to spit in your face
Old Black Mountain
Tried to spit in your face
Baby's grabbing whiskey
Oh, she's practising bass
[Verse 2]
Old Black Mountain
Mean as they can be
Old Black Mountain
Mean as they can be
They use gunpowder
Just to sweeten the tea
[Verse 3]
Had a girl in Black Mountain
Sweetest girl in town
Had a girl in Black Mountain
Sweetest girl in town
But she met a sweet black man
Then she threw me down
[Verse 4]
Well, old Black Mountain
Can't keep a man in jail
Old Black Mountain
Can't keep a man in jail
Jury call him guilty
Judge will grant him bail
[Verse 5]
Going back to Black Mountain
Me, my razor, my gun
Going back to Black Mountain
Me, my razor, my gun
Gonna cut her if she stands there
And shoot her if she runs
