Down in black mountain

A child will smack your face

Down in black mountain

A child will smack your face

Babies crying for liquor and all the birds sing bass



Black mountain people

Are as bad as they could be

Black mountain people

Are as bad as they could be

They uses gunpowder just to sweeten their tea



Black mountain

Cant keep a man in jail

Cant keep a man in jail

If the jury find him guilty the judge will grant him bail



Got the devil in my soul

And Im full of bad booze

Got the devil in my soul

And Im full of bad booze

Im bound for trouble

Ive got those black mountain blues



Theres a man in black mountain

Sweetest talker in the town

Theres a man in black mountain

Sweetest talker in the town

He met up with my girl and he threw her down



Im bound for black mountain

Me my razor and my gun

Im bound for black mountain

Me my razor and my gun

Im gonna cut him if he stands still and shoot him if he runs



Down in black mountain

They all shoot quick and straight

Down in black mountain

They all shoot quick and straight

And the bullet will get you if you dont dodge it too late



Got the devil in my soul

And Im full of bad booze

Got the devil in my soul

And Im full of bad booze

Im bound for trouble

Ive got those black mountain blues
