That Black Snake Moan (Paramount Version)

[Verse 1]
Oh, ain't got no mama now
Oh, ain't got no mama now
She told me late last night, "You don't need no mama nohow"

[Verse 2]
Mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
Mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
Some pretty mama better come and get this black snake soon

[Verse 3]
Oh, that must be the bedbugs, baby, a chinch can't bite that hard
Oh, that must be the bedbugs, honey, a chinch can't bite that hard
Asked my sugar for 50 cents, she said, "Lemon, ain't a child in the yard?"

[Verse 4]
Mama, that's all right, mama, that's all right for you
Mama, that's all right, mama, that's all right for you
Mama, that's all right most any old way you do

[Verse 5]
Mmm, what's the matter now?
Mmm, honey, what's the matter now?
Sugar, what's the matter? "Don't like no black snake nohow"

[Verse 6]
Mmm, wonder where my black snake gone
Mmm, wonder where the black snake gone
Black snake mama done run my darlin' home
