Black Snake Dream Blues Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

Black snake is ′ceitful, crawlin' all in my bed
I say, black snake deceitful, crawlin′ all in my bed
I had a dream last night, black snake had killed my baby dead

Hey, hey, mama, black snake's lyin' all in my hall
Hey, mama, black snake is all in my hall
And if you quit me, mama, you can′t see that black snake at all


Listen here, mama, black snake is wearin′ my clothes
Oh, listen here, mama, black snake is wearin' my clothes
And I told you about it, and you put my trunk outdoors

Take me back, mama, I won′t be bad no more
I said take me back, mama, I can't be bad no more
And you can get my loving if you let that black snake go

Black snake crawler, he said he don′t mean no harm
Black snake crawler, he say he don't mean no harm
But I′m gettin' tired of that black snake lyin' in my baby′s arms
