Crawling King Snake

Crawling King Snare - Big Joe Williams

Yeah I'm a crawling king snake woman

I'm gon' hang all 'round your door

Yeah I'm a crawling king snake baby

I'm gon' hang 'round your door

You ain't had the nerve to tell me

You well well she didn't want me no more

You couldn't see me baby passing by

I'm gon' be your crawling king snake

'Til the day I die

Wanna be your crawling king snake

Hanging' all round your door

Yeah had the nerve to tell me

You well well

You didn't want poor Joe Wiliams no more

You couldn't see me baby

When I was walking by

Might be your crawling king snake

Mama if I have to die

Gonna be your crawling king snake

Hangin' all round your door

Yeah had the nerve to tell me

You well well

That you didn't want me no more

I'm going back to Memphis

If I have to walk

I ain't got nobody in Chicago

Talk that oh baby talk

I'm gonna be your crawling king snake

Hangin' all round your door

You ain't had the nerve to tell me

You well well

You didn't want me no more

I'm goin' back to St Louis

I'm gonna sit right down

I gonna throw my poison

On every pretty woman in town

Gonna be your crawling king snake

Hangin' all round your door

Play for me awhile boys

Didn't have the nerve to tell me

Whoo blue that woman didn't want me no more

Play it to my baby boys

Ease on up
