Well, well, got no money now
Well, got no mammy now
She told me late last night
You don't need no mama, no how
Well, there's a great long black snake
Crawling in my way
Mmm, black snake
Crawling in my way
Better come down here handsome pretty mama
And take care of this black snake soon
Cause I'm going to kill it
That must have been a pit bull
That you can't fight that long
Oh, I know that must have been a pit bull
That you can't fight that long
Asked my baby for fifty cents
She said, Brenda, you'd rather hate a dime than a yard
Well, well, what's the matter now
Mmm, honey, what's the matter now
Oh, sugar, what's the matter
Don't like no black snake, no how
Well, I wonder when the black snake gone
Oh, I wonder where, where is the black snake gone
You know black snake mama
Can run my darling home
Well, well, got no mammy now
Well, got no mammy now
She told me late last night
You know you don't need no mama, no how
Oh, I wonder when the black snake gone
Oh, I wonder where, where is the black snake gone
You know black snake mama
Can run my darling home
Well, well, what's the matter now
Mmm, honey, what's the matter now
Oh, I wonder where, where is the black snake gone
Oh, I wonder where, where is the black snake gone
