Stinging Snake Blues

Stinging Snake Blues - Memphis Minnie

This house is full of stinging snakes

Crawling all in my bed

This house is full of stinging snakes

Crawling all in my bed

I can't rest at night

From them crawling all under my head

I got up this morning

One stung me on my leg

I got up this morning

One stung me on my leg

I can't sleep at night

Because they keeps me awake

Hmmmmmm wonder where my stinging snake gone

Hmmmmmm wonder where my stinging snake gone

I can't see no peace

Since my stinging snake left me home

I got a stinging snake

I love sometimes better than I do myself

I got a stinging snake

I love sometimes better than I do myself

If the Lord has to take him

I won't be stung by nobody else

Hmmmmmm where's my stinging snake now

Hmmmmmm where's my stinging snake now

I believe to my soul

That my stinging snake's trying to put me down
