Black Mountain Blues
 

Back in Black Mountain : a child will smack your face
Babies crying for liquor : and all the birds sing bass

Black Mountain people : are bad as they can be
They uses gunpowder : just to sweeten their tea

On this Black Mountain : can't keep a man in jail
If the jury finds them guilty : the judge'll go their bail

Had a man in Black Mountain : sweetest man in town
He met a city gal : and he throwed me down

I'm bound for Black Mountain : me and my razor and my gun
I'm going to shoot him if he stands still : and cut him if he run

Down in Black Mountain : they all shoots quick and straight
The bullet'll get you : if you starts a‑dodging too late

Got the devil in my soul : and I'm full of bad booze
I'm out here for trouble : I've got the Black Mountain blues
