Snake Mountain Blues
Mr. ten dollar man Mr. ten dollar man Let me tell you where you're bound Let me tell you where you're bound When you drink your green liquor When you drink your green liquor Lord, you'll roll to the ground Lord, you'll roll to the ground
But you come around here But you come around here With your money in your hand With your money in your hand Tasted my woman Tasted my woman You'll die where you stand You'll die where you stand
Snake Mountain's gonna crumble Snake mountain's gonna crumble Lord, and fall from the sky Lord, and fall from the sky 'Til that woman of mine 'til that woman of mine Keeps on telling her lies Keeps on telling her lies
If I'd die Lord, she'd weep If i'd die lord, she'd weep And she'd weep and she'd mourne And she'd weep and she'd mourne As soon as I was buried As soon as i was buried Forget I been born Forget i been born
Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train And the first winds of winter And the first winds of winter Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Well, I'll see him again Well, i'll see him again
And it's goodbye to that yellow-headed misery I've known And it's goodbye to that yellow-headed misery i've known Snake Mountain is callin' Snake mountain is callin' Is callin' me home Is callin' me home
Got the Snake Mountain blues X4 Got the snake mountain blues x4
Got the Snake Mountain blues X4 Got the snake mountain blues x4
It goes something like this: *[one verse of the original is left out.
It goes something like this: Well the Snake Mountain blues
Have got me down low Well the snake mountain blues I could die in the morning Have got me down low And no one would know I could die in the morning Well, my woman comes 'round And no one would know My body she'd found Well, my woman comes 'round Go down to Dundee My body she'd found (And) Have her a time] Go down to dundee (and) have her a time]
