Black Snake Blues Lyrics

In the dying dying wind now
Hear the black snake sing the blues
In the dying dying wind now
Hear the black snake sing the blues
All the saints will fall into sin now
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 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? You can try
If the black snake comes along
Feel that river running cold

Save me please Saint Peter
Keep me from the fire
Walk me into heaven
And let me hear the choir

I've cried my tears sweet Jesus now
And I've fallen into shame
I've cried my tears sweet Jesus now
And I've fallen into shame I have
If the black snake comes along
Does the story stay the same?

Here it comes
Rock it
