The Walkabouts - Snake Mountain Blues Lyrics
Mr. Ten Dollar manLet me tell you where you're boundWhen you drink your green liquorLord, you'll roll to the groundBut you come around hereWith your money in your handTasted my womanYou'll die where you standSnake Mountain's gonna crumbleLord, and fall from the sky'Til that woman of mineKeeps on telling her liesIf I'd die Lord, she'd weepAnd she'd weep and she'd mourneAs soon as I was buriedForget I been bornWell my daddy, he rides on a long holy trainAnd the first winds of winterWell, I'll see him againAnd it's goodbye to that yellow-headed misery I've knownSnake Mountain is callin'Is callin' me homeGot the Snake Mountain blues X4Got the Snake Mountain blues X4*(One verse of the original is left out.It goes something like this:Well the Snake Mountain bluesHave got me down lowI could die in the morningAnd no one would knowWell, my woman comes 'roundMy body she'd foundGo down to Dundee(And) Have her a time)
