Lonnie Johnson - New Black Snake Blues-Part 1 (1928) lyrics

Your rating:

VS:  Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhhhh, huh huh,

       Ahhhhh, huh huh, hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmmm.

LJ:   Something keep a moanin', I don't know what it is.



VS:  In my path lays a black snake, ‘bout 8 or 9 inches.

       Here me screamin', man I ain't dreamin'.

       In my path lay a black snake, ‘bout 8 or 9 inches long.

       Got my axe and mean to kill him, before he sucks my rider stone.



LJ:   When my right eye winks, on my knees I begin to crawl.

       When my right eye winks, on my knees I begin to crawl.

       It will be hell to tell the capt'n, if I catch another man kickin' in my stall.



VS:  Ohhh, want my black snake to come back home.

       Hmm, wonder if my black snake will come back home.

       Wonder if he's been [with] another woman, Lord since he been gone.



LJ:   There's no use a worryin', a baby ‘bout the time being, early in the morning, late every night.

       There's no use a worryin', baby ‘bout the days being long.

       The black snake has got the best of you, can't roll him from home.
