Black Snake Blues -

In the dying, dying wind

Hear the Black Snake sing the blues

In the dying, dying wind

Hear the Black Snake sing the blues

All the saints will fall into sin

And there’s nothing you can do

If the devil gives no pardon

Is my waiting all in vain

If the devil gives no pardon

Is my waiting all in vain

If the Black Snake takes my soul

Does the story stay the same

Could you please bathe me down in the river

And please try to save my soul

Could you bathe me down in the river

And please try to save my soul

Is that Black Snake takes my soul

Do you feel the river running cold

Save me please st.

Peter

Keep me from the fire

Walk me into heaven

And let me hear the choir

Because I’ve cried my tears sweet Jesus

And I’ve fallen into shame

I have cried my tears sweetJesus

And I’ve fallen into shame

Now the Black Snake has my soul

And the story stays the same
