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]
