snake mountain blues (1999 version) - townes van zandt lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
mr. ten dollar man let me tell where you’re bound
drink your green liquor, lord, you’ll roll to the ground
but you come around here with your money in your hand
taste of my woman while you die where you stand

[verse 2]
well the snake mountain blues they got me down low
i could die in the morning and no one would know
my woman come ’round my body she’d find
go down to dundee, have her a time

[verse 3]
snake mountain’s gonna crumble lord and fall from the sky
‘fore that woman of mine stops tellin’ her lies
well if i’d die lord she’d weep, she’d weep and she’d mourn
soon as i’s buried she’d forget i’d been born

[verse 4]
love a black-skinned woman she won’t do you no wrong
slow to start moanin’, she don’t moan for long
a yellow-headed woman bring ya nothin’ but pain
takes all you give her, ah leaves only shame

[verse 5]
well my daddy, lord he rides on a long holy train
first winds of winter i’ll see him again
and it’s farewell to this yellow headed misery i’ve known
snake mountain’s callin’, ah callin’ me home

[verse 2]
well the snake mountain blues they got me down low
i could die in the mornin’, ain’t no one would know
my woman come around, my body she’d find
go down to dundee, ah and have her a time
