Classic Poem

Back in Black Mountain
a child will smack your face
Back in Black Mountain
a child will smack your face
Babies crying for liquor
and all the birds sing base

Black Mountain people
are bad as they can be
Black Mountain people
are bad as they can be
They uses gun powder
just to sweeten their tea

On the Black Mountain
can't keep a man in jail
On the Black Mountain
can't keep a man in jail
If the jury finds them guilty
the judge'll go their 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 gal
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 run

Down in Black Mountain
they all shoots quick and straight
Down in Black Mountain
they all shoots quick and straight
The bullet 'll get you
if you starts a-dodging too late

Got the devil in my soul
and I'm fulla bad booze
Got the devil in my soul
and I'm fulla bad booze
I'm out here for trouble
and I've got the Black Mountain Blues
