John Lee Hooker
Black Snake
[Verse 1]
He's a mean black snake sucking my writer's tongue
He's a mean black snake been sucking my writer's tongue
And if I catch him down he won't come back no more
[Verse 2]
And he crawl to my window and he crawl up in my bed
He crawl up to my window and crawl up in my baby's bed
He's a mean, mean black snake
Been sucking my writer's tongue
Get me some toad frog hips
Mix it up together
Gonna whoop it up good
I bet you my bottom dollar
He won't suck my writer's tongue no more
[Verse 3]
Mean mean mean black snake
Been crawling round my back door
Been crawling round my back door
[Verse 4]
He worry me all through the day
He worry me all night long
He worry me all through the day
He worry me all day long
I bet you my bottom dollar
I'm going to kill, kill that black snake
He won't suck my writer's tongue
He won't suck my baby's tongue no more
That mean, mean black snake
He won't bother me no more
