By townes van zandt

Mr ten dollar man
Let me tell where you’re bound
Drink your green liqour, lord
You’ll roll to the ground
But you come around here
With your money in your hand
Taste of my woman
Well, you die where you stand

Snake mountain blues
Got me down low
I could die in the morning
But noone would know
When my woman come around
My body she’d find
Go down to dundee
Have her a time

Snake mountain gonna crumble
And fall from the sky
Before that woman of mine
Stops tellin’ her lies
If i’d die, lord, she’d weep
She’d weep and she’d mourn
Soon as i’s buried
Forget i’d been born

Love of blackskin woman
She won’t do you no wrong
Slow to start moaning
She don’t moan for long
Yellow headed woman
Brings nothing but pain
Take all you give her
She leaves only shame

My daddy, lord, he rides
On a long holy train
First winds of winter
I see him again
In this farewell to this
Yellow headed misery i’ve known
Snake mountain’s calling
Calling me home

Snake mountain blues
Got me down low
I could die in the morning
But noone would know
When my woman come around
My body she’d find
Go down to dundee
Have her a time

Mr. ten dollar man
Let me tell you where you’re bound
When you drink your green liquor
Lord, you’ll roll to the ground

But you come around here
With your money in your hand
Tasted my woman
You’ll die where you stand

Snake mountain’s gonna crumble
Lord, and fall from the sky
‘til that woman of mine
Keeps on telling her lies

If i’d die lord, she’d weep
And she’d weep and she’d mourne
As soon as i was buried
Forget i been born

Well my daddy, he rides on a long holy train
And the first winds of winter
Well, i’ll see him again

And it’s goodbye to that yellow-headed misery i’ve known
Snake mountain is callin’
Is callin’ me home

Got the snake mountain blues x4

Got the snake mountain blues x4

*[one verse of the original is left out.
It goes something like this:

Well the snake mountain blues
Have got me down low
I could die in the morning
And no one would know
Well, my woman comes ‘round
My body she’d found
Go down to dundee
(and) have her a time]
