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