Snake Mountain Blues — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



Mr ten dollar man

Let me tell where youre bound

Drink your green liqour, lord

Youll 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 shed 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 Id die, lord, shed weep

Shed weep and shed mourn

Soon as is buried

Forget Id been born





Love of blackskin woman

She wont do you no wrong

Slow to start moaning

She dont 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 Ive known

Snake mountains 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 shed find

Go down to dundee

Have her a time
