Black Mountain Blues

Well on black mountain, where a child'll spit in your face
I say on black mountain, where a child'll spit in your face
All the babies cry for whisky, all the birds sing bass

Well on black mountain, they're as mean as they can be
I say black mountain, they're as mean as they can be
Well you know they use gunpowder, just to sweeten their tea

Well on black mountain, well you can't keep a man in jail
I say on black mountain, well you can't keep a man in jail
Well if the jury finds him guilty, the judge'll go get bail

I had a gal on black mountain, well the sweetest gal in town
I had a gal on black mountain, well the sweetest gal in town
Well met a sweet backed man, and she threw me down

I'm going back to black mountain, me, my razor, and my gun
I'm going back to black mountain, me, my razor, and my gun
I'm gonna cut her if she stands, shoot her if she runs
