Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Black Snake Moan lyrics

Well-well, I ain't got no mama now Well-well, I ain't got no mama now She told me late last night "You don't need no mama no how" Sit and wonder will a matchbox hold my clothes Yeah, will a matchbox hold my clothes I ain't got so many matches But I got so far to go I got a great long black snake crawlin' in the room Yeah, black snake crawlin' in the room Handsome pretty momma better come down here Take this black snake soon That must been a bedbug, I know a chinch can't bit that hard Yeah bedbug, I know a chinch can't bit that hard Asked my woman for fifty cents She said, "Lemon, ain't a dime in the yard"
