Black Mountain Blues

Down in black mountain A child will smack your face Down in black mountain A child will smack your face Babies crying for liquor and all the birds sing bass Black mountain people Are as bad as they could be Black mountain people Are as bad as they could be They uses gunpowder just to sweeten their tea Black mountain Can't keep a man in jail Can't keep a man in jail If the jury find him guilty the judge will grant him bail Got the devil in my soul And I'm full of bad booze Got the devil in my soul And I'm full of bad booze I'm bound for trouble I've got those black mountain blues There's a man in black mountain Sweetest talker in the town There's a man in black mountain Sweetest talker in the town He met up with my girl and he threw her down I'm bound for black mountain Me my razor and my gun I'm bound for black mountain Me my razor and my gun I'm gonna cut him if he stands still and shoot him if he runs Down in black mountain They all shoot quick and straight Down in black mountain They all shoot quick and straight And the bullet will get you if you don't dodge it too late Got the devil in my soul And I'm full of bad booze Got the devil in my soul And I'm full of bad booze I'm bound for trouble I've got those black mountain blues --- Black Mountain Blues - Marc Almond
