Snake Mountain Blues Lyrics by Walkabouts
Mr. ten dollar man
Mr. ten dollar man
Let me tell you where youre bound
Let me tell you where youre bound
When you drink your green liquor
When you drink your green liquor
Lord, youll roll to the ground
Lord, youll roll to the ground
But you come around here
But you come around here
With your money in your hand
With your money in your hand
Tasted my woman
Tasted my woman
Youll die where you stand
Youll die where you stand
Snake mountains gonna crumble
Snake mountains gonna crumble
Lord, and fall from the sky
Lord, and fall from the sky
til that woman of mine
til that woman of mine
Keeps on telling her lies
Keeps on telling her lies
If Id die lord, shed weep
If Id die lord, shed weep
And shed weep and shed mourne
And shed weep and shed mourne
As soon as I was buried
As soon as I was buried
Forget I been born
Forget I been born
Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train
Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train
And the first winds of winter
And the first winds of winter
Well, Ill see him again
Well, Ill see him again
And its goodbye to that yellow-headed misery Ive known
And its goodbye to that yellow-headed misery Ive known
Snake mountain is callin
Snake mountain is callin
Is callin me home
Is callin me home
Got the snake mountain blues x4
Got the snake mountain blues x4
Got the snake mountain blues x4
Got the snake mountain blues x4
It goes something like this:
*[one verse of the original is left out.
It goes something like this:
Well the snake mountain blues
Have got me down low
Well the snake mountain blues
I could die in the morning
Have got me down low
And no one would know
I could die in the morning
Well, my woman comes round
And no one would know
My body shed found
Well, my woman comes round
Go down to dundee
My body shed found
(and) have her a time]
Go down to dundee
(and) have her a time]
Mr. ten dollar man
Let me tell you where youre bound
Let me tell you where youre bound
When you drink your green liquor
When you drink your green liquor
Lord, youll roll to the ground
Lord, youll roll to the ground
But you come around here
But you come around here
With your money in your hand
With your money in your hand
Tasted my woman
Tasted my woman
Youll die where you stand
Youll die where you stand
Snake mountains gonna crumble
Snake mountains gonna crumble
Lord, and fall from the sky
Lord, and fall from the sky
til that woman of mine
til that woman of mine
Keeps on telling her lies
Keeps on telling her lies
If Id die lord, shed weep
If Id die lord, shed weep
And shed weep and shed mourne
And shed weep and shed mourne
As soon as I was buried
As soon as I was buried
Forget I been born
Forget I been born
Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train
Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train
And the first winds of winter
And the first winds of winter
Well, Ill see him again
Well, Ill see him again
And its goodbye to that yellow-headed misery Ive known
And its goodbye to that yellow-headed misery Ive known
Snake mountain is callin
Snake mountain is callin
Is callin me home
Is callin me home
Got the snake mountain blues x4
Got the snake mountain blues x4
Got the snake mountain blues x4
Got the snake mountain blues x4
