Oh, oh, I ain’t got no mammy now. (2)
You told me late last night,’You didn’t need no mammy no how.
Oh, oh, black snake crawlin’ in my room. (2)
Better tell somebody,Better come and get this old black snake soon.
Oh, oh, must be the bedbugs
‘Cause the chains couldn’t bite me that hard.
Oh, oh, must be the bedbugs,
‘Cause the chains can’t bite me that hard.
Had my sugar up here ever since they let her,
And the child in the yard.
Honey, that’s alright, that’s alright for you. (2)
Darling, that’s alright, most any other way will do.
I walked up to my baby,
And I know I can thank the Lord,
It was alright with me.
It was Okay with me.
Everything she done sat right with me.
I walked up to her and wanted to know
What’s the matter.
Mm, honey, what’s the matter now? (2)
Darling, tell me, what’s the matter?
Don’t like no black snake no how.
Where, wonder where that black snake gone. (2)
I know black snake, mama,
Done run my darlin’; home.
Repeat 1st verse.
Repeat last verse.VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
