Memphis Minnie - Stinging Snake Blues lyrics

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
