Lyrics:

Oh, ain't got no mama now
Oh, ain't got no mama now
She told me late last night, 'You don't need no mama no-how'

Mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
Mmm, black snake crawlin' in my room
Some pretty mama better come and get this black snake soon

Oh, that musta been a bed-bug, baby, a chinch can't bite that hard
Oh, that musta been a bed-bug, honey, a chinch can't bite that hard
Asked my sugar for fifty cents, she said, 'Lemon, I 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 any old way you do

Mmm, what's the matter now?
Mmm, honey, what's the matter now?
Sugar, what's the matter? 'Don't like no black snake, no-how'

Mmm, wonder where's my black snake gone
Mmm, wonder where is the black snake gone
Black snake, mama, done run my darlin' home
