Black snake is deceitful

Crawling all in my bed

I say black snake is deceitful

Crawling all in my bed

I had a dream last night

Black snake is killed my baby dead

Hey hey mama

Black snake's lying 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 wearing my clothes

Oh listen here mama

Black snake is wearing 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

And that take me back mama

I'll take me back no more

And you can get my loving

If you let that black snake go

Black snake crawl out

He said he don't mean no harm

Black snake crawl out

He said he don't mean no harm

But I'm getting tired of that black snake

Lying in my baby's arms
