The Armada - Black Snake Blues lyrics

In the dying, dying wind Hear the Black Snake sing the blues In the dying, dying wind Hear the Black Snake sing the blues All the saints will fall into sin And there's nothing you can do If the devil gives no pardon Is my waiting all in vain If the devil gives no pardon Is my waiting all in vain If the Black Snake takes my soul Does the story stay the same Could you please bathe me down in the river And please try to save my soul Could you bathe me down in the river And please try to save my soul Is that Black Snake takes my soul Do you feel the river running cold Save me please Saint Peter Keep me from the fire Walk me into heaven And let me hear the choir Because I've cried my tears sweet Jesus And I've fallen into shame I have cried my tears sweet Jesus And I've fallen into shame Now the Black Snake has my soul And the story stays the same Here it comes Rock it
