Black Mountain Blues Lyrics

Old Black Mountain
Tried to spit in your face
Old Black Mountain
Tried to spit in your face
Baby's grubbing whiskey
Oh she's practising bass

Old Black Mountain
Mean as they can be
Old Black Mountain
Mean as they can be
They use gunpowder
Just to sweeten the tea

Had a girl in Black Mountain
Sweetest girl in town
Had a girl in Black Mountain
Sweetest girl in town
But she met a sweet black man
Then she threw me down

Well, old Black Mountain
Can't keep man in jail
Well, Black Mountain
Can't keep man in jail
Jury call him guilty
Judge will grant him bail

Goin' back to Black Mountain
Me and my razor and my gun
Goin' back to Black Mountain
Me and my razor and my gun
Gonna cut her if she stands there
And shoot her if she runs
