SNAKE HOUSE MOAN BLUES
(To Blind Lemon Jefferson)

I’m a - howlin’!
Well, little baby Jesus cut his wrist
Said he just couldn’t go on like this
Way too many teardrops ‘n’ way too much pain
Way too much confusion ‘n’ people going insane
Doing the snake house moan
Snake house moan
Little baby Jesus was rightly disturbed
By what he saw and what he heard
Fallen angels stumbling down the roads of sin
High on diesel emissions deeply breathed in
Doing the snake house moan
Snake house moan
Then little baby Jesus looked at the village down below
The dreamers and the poets, o, were had they gone?
He walked around the side streets of skid row for a while
And found some of them living next to rotten garbage piles
Doing the snake house moan
Snake house moan
Then he went to a hotspot called the playground of pain
And saw some of his heroes going down in flames
He got a real bad feeling when a vision struck his mind
He found himself sitting on the throne of red blood and fire
Doing the snake house moan
Snake house moan
