Song by Samuel L Jackson<br /><br>

[spoken]<br>

I ain't played for nobody in years<br>

I wanted me some kids, a whole mess of 'em.<br>

But for Rose, my wife, kids is for another time.<br>

<br>

Then one spring,<br>

I seent the change in her<br>

Her breasts started swelling up<br>

Couple of mornings, hear her in the bathroom throwing up<br>

I done seen it in other women before,<br>

so I knew.<br>

<br>

Then one day <br>

Rose said she had to go to Jackson,<br>

visit her folks,<br>

and she ain't wanted me to go,<br>

so I stayed here.<br>

<br>

You know how they talk about a woman having that glow?<br>

She didn't have it no more.<br>

She done cut it out.<br>

Got rid of it.<br>

<br>

That voice in my head,<br>

every time I think it's gone,<br>

it comes howling back.<br>

<br>

Calls me when I'm ailing,<br>

when I can't find my way home.<br>

Lost in the pines<br>

I calls it the Black Snake Moan.<br>

<br>

[sung]<br>

Mmmmmmmmmm<br>

Black snake all in my room<br>

Mmmmmmmmmm<br>

Black snake all in my room<br>

Some pretty mamma<br>

Better get this black snake soon.<br>

<br>

Black snake is evil.<br>

Black snake is all I see.<br>

Black snake is evil.<br>

Black snake is all I see.<br>

<br>

Woke up this morning<br>

Black snake moved in on me.<br>

<br>
