Em Am

Mr. Ten Dollar man, let me tell where you're bound

Em

Drink your green liquor, Lord, you'll roll to the ground

Em Am

But you come around here, with your money in your hand

Am Em

Snake Mountain blues, they got me down low

Am Em

I could die in the morning but no one would know

Em Am

My woman come 'round, my body she'd find

Dm Am

Go down to Dundee - have her a time

Em Am

Snake Mountain's gonna crumble, Lord, and fall from the sky

Em

before that woman of mine stops tellin' her lies

Em Am

If I'd die Lord she'd weep, she'd weep and she'd mourn

Em AmEm

Soon as I's buried... Forget I'd been born

Em Am

Well a black-skinned woman, she won't do you no wrong

Em

Slow to start moanin' - she don't moan for long

Em Am

Oh, a yellow-headed woman brings you nothin' but pain

Em AmEm

Take all you give her... she leaves only shame

Em Am

My Daddy, Lord he rides on a long holy train

Em

First winds of winter I'll see him again

Em Am

It's farewell to this yellow-headed misery I've known

Em AmEm

Snake Mountain's calling... Callin' me home

Am Em

Snake Mountain blues, they got me down low
