Black Snake Moan Song Lyrics

---

This here song is from back in the day
Nineteen-hundred and sixty-two
My woman put my black ass out in the cold
I said, "baby why you leavin'?"
She said, "i love dun gone cold."
Oh, i waded through water and i waded through mud
Till i come to this place they call the bucket of blood

You know that bartender gave me a dirty look and a dirty glass
I said, "say muthaf**ka do you know who i am?"
He said, "hell no nigga i don't give a goddamn."

I reached down in my pocket and pulled out my shiny .44
Shot that muthaf**ka twice
He hit the goddamn floor
'bout that time you coulda heard the drop of a pin
That's when that bad muthaf**ka billy lyons walked in

About that time a pimp eased up and turned out the lights
That's when i had ol' billy lyons dead in my sights
When the lights come back on ol' billy gone to rest
I put nine of my bullets in his muthaf**kin' chest!
Yeah!
