  • 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 cry 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
    'Cause 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 gal, that's when he throwed 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 gonna cut him if he stands still, I'll just shoot him if he runs
    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
