The Walkabouts - Snake Mountain Blues lyrics

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]
