Lyrics for Album: Complete Recorded Works 1925-32, Vol. 4-(1928-29) [1991]
VS: I feel so shaky, my nerves done fade away.
I feel so shaky, my nerves done fade away.
I killed nine hundred and ninety-nine snakes today.
LJ: I know I'm a cheater, I suck any woman's blood.
I know I'm a cheater, I suck any woman's blood.
My home's not like yours, I can make it in a ditch of mud.
VS: Ohhhhh, my door stood open all night long.
Mmmm, my door stood open all night long.
Askin'myself, where my black snake has gone?
LJ: Just before I left you, my tongue bit you on your leg.
Before I left, with my tongue I bit you on your leg.
I know I'm poison, that's why I rather see you dead.
VS: I can stand everything but a black snake makin' south.
I can stand everything but a black snake makin' south.
LJ: You don't have to worry mama, I ain't comin' back south no more.
