Snake Mountain Blues Songtext
von The Walkabouts

Mr. Ten Dollar man
Let me tell you where you′re bound

When you drink your green liquor
Lord, you'll roll to the ground

But you come around here
With your money in your hand
Tasted my woman
You′ll die where you stand

Snake Mountain's gonna crumble, Lord
And fall from the sky

'Til that woman of mine
Keeps on telling her lies


If I′d die, Lord, she′d weep
And she'd weep and she′d mourne
As soon as I's buried
Forget I been born

Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train
And the first winds of winter
Well, I′ll see him again

And it's goodbye to that yellow-headed misery I′ve known
Snake Mountain is callin'
Is callin' me home

Got the Snake Mountain blues
Got the Snake Mountain blues
Got the Snake Mountain blues
Got the Snake Mountain blues

Got the Snake Mountain blues
Got the Snake Mountain blues
Got the Snake Mountain blues
Got the Snake Mountain blues
