Black Mountain Blues

[Verse] Out in Black Mountain a child will smack your face I'm saying out on Black Mountain a child will smack your face The babies crying for liquor, and all the birds sing bass Well, those people in Black Mountain are mean as they can be And those people in Black Mountain are mean as they can be Now they uses gun powder just to sweeten up their tea Well, out in Black Mountain you can't keep a good man in jail Yeah, out in Black Mountain you can't keep a good man in jail Because if the jury convicts him, the judge will pay his bail I had a man in Black Mountain, the sweetest man in town I had a man in Black Mountain, the sweetest man in the town But then he met a city girl, that's when he threw me down Lord, I'm bound for Black Mountain, me and my razor and my gun I'm going back to Black Mountain, me and my razor and my gun I'm going to fire him if he stands still, I'll just cut him if he runs [Outro] Lord, now you've heard my story, now you've heard my news Lord, now you've heard my story, now you've heard my news Now my man can clear off, I've got the Blackest Mountain blues
