Black Snake Blues

Black Snake Blues - Mills

'Cause my left eye is jumping

And my flesh begins to crawl

I said my left eye is jumping

And my flesh begins to crawl

You can bet my last dollar

There's another mule kickin' in my stall

Oh I ain't gonna tell you no more

I said oh I ain't gonna tell you no more

Stay away from my window

Don't you knock at my door

I'd rather be a catfish swimming

In the deep blue

Lodged beneath a submarine

Behind a floating boat

I'd rather be a catfish

Swimming in the deep blue sea

Than to stay in texas

Let 'em try to mistreat me

Oh I ain't gonna tell you no more

I said oh I ain't gonna tell you no more

Stay away from my window

Don't you knock at my door

It's a mean black snake

That's carried me this gate

Taught me my mistake

Treated me hard to take

It's a mean black snake

That's doing me this way

If I ever go back south

I'm going back there to stay
