Текст песни Crawling King Snake - Big Joe Williams

Yeah, I'm a crawling king snake, woman
I'm gon' hang all 'round your door
Yeah, I'm a crawling king snake, baby
I'm gon' hang 'round your door
You ain't had the nerve to tell me
You, well, well, she didn't want me no more

You couldn't see me, baby, passing by
I'm gon' be your crawling king snake 'til the day I die

Wanna be your crawling king snake
Hanging' all round your door
Yeah, had the nerve to tell me
You, well, well, you didn't want poor Joe Wiliams no more

You couldn't see me, baby, when I was walking by
Might be your crawling king snake
Mama, if I have to die

Gonna be your crawling king snake
Hangin' all round your door
Yeah, had the nerve to tell me
You, well, well, that you didn't want me no more

I'm going back to Memphis
If I have to walk
I ain't got nobody in Chicago
Talk that, oh baby, talk

I'm gonna be your crawling king snake
Hangin' all round your door
You ain't had the nerve to tell me
You, well, well, you didn't want me no more

I'm goin' back to St. Louis
I'm gonna sit right down
I gonna throw my poison on every pretty woman in town

Gonna be your crawling king snake
Hangin' all round your door
Play for me awhile, boys
Didn't have the nerve to tell me
Whoo, blue, that woman didn't want me no more

Play it to my baby, boys

Ease on up
