Down in black mountain

A child will smack your face

Down in black mountain

A child will smack your face

Babies crying for liquor and all the birds sing bass



Black mountain people

Are as bad as they could be

Black mountain people

Are as bad as they could be

They uses gunpowder just to sweeten their tea



Black mountain

Can't keep a man in jail

Can't keep a man in jail

If the jury find him guilty the judge will grant him bail



Got the devil in my soul

And I'm full of bad booze

Got the devil in my soul

And I'm full of bad booze

I'm bound for trouble 

I've got those black mountain blues



There's a man in black mountain

Sweetest talker in the town

There's a man in black mountain

Sweetest talker in the town

He met up with my girl and he threw her down



I'm bound for black mountain

Me my razor and my gun

I'm bound for black mountain

Me my razor and my gun

I'm gonna cut him if he stands still and shoot him if he runs



Down in black mountain

They all shoot quick and straight

Down in black mountain

They all shoot quick and straight

And the bullet will get you if you don't dodge it too late



Got the devil in my soul

And I'm full of bad booze

Got the devil in my soul

And I'm full of bad booze

I'm bound for trouble

I've got those black mountain blues
