Aaaaah, I ain’t got no mama now
Aaaaah, I ain’t got no mama now
She told me late last night, «You don’t need no mama no how»
Mmm, mmm, black snake crawling in my room
Mmm, mmm, black snake crawling in my room
Some pretty mama better come and get this black snake soon
Ohh-oh, that must have been a bed bug
Baby, a chinch can’t bite that hard
Ohh-oh, that must have been a bed bug
Honey a chinch can’t bite that hard
Ask my sugar for fifty cents, she said
«Lemon, ain’t a child in the yard?»
Mama, that’s all right, mama that’s all right for you
Mama, that’s all right, mama that’s all right for you
Mama, that’s all right, most seen all you do Mmm, mmm, what’s the matter now?
Mmm, mmm, honey what’s the matter now?
Sugar, what’s the matter, don’t like no black snake no how
Mmm, mmm, wonder where my black snake gone?
Mmm, mmm, wonder where this black snake gone?
Black snake mama done run my darlin' home
