Lyrics Black Mountain Blues - Bessie Smith
Back
in
Black
Mountain,
a
child
will
smack
your
face
Back
in
Black
Mountain,
a
child
will
smack
your
face
Babies
cryin'
for
liquor,
and
all
the
birds
sing
bass
Black
Mountain
people
are
bad
as
they
can
be
Black
Mountain
people
are
bad
as
they
can
be
They
uses
gunpowder
just
to
sweeten
their
tea
In
Black
Mountain,
can't
keep
a
man
in
jail
In
Black
Mountain,
can't
keep
a
man
in
jail
If
the
jury
finds
him
guilty,
the
judge
will
go
they
bail
Had
a
man
in
Black
Mountain,
sweetest
man
in
town
Had
a
man
in
Black
Mountain,
the
sweetest
man
in
town
He
met
a
city
girl,
and
he
throwed
me
down
I'm
bound
for
Black
Mountain,
me
and
my
razor
and
my
gun
Lord,
I'm
bound
for
Black
Mountain,
me
and
my
razor
and
gun
I'm
gonna
shoot
him
if
he
stands
still,
and
cut
him
if
he
runs
Down
in
Black
Mountain,
they
all
shoot
quick
and
straight
Down
in
Black
Mountain,
they
all
shoot
quick
and
straight
The
bullet'll
get
you,
if
you
start
dodgin'
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
out
here
for
trouble,
I've
got
the
Black
Mountain
