Black Snake Moan
Ain't but one kind of blues.
And that consisted between
male and female that's in love.
ln love, just like
l sung one of them songs a while ago
and l put a verse in there
saying that love hide all fault
and make you do things
you don't wanna do.
Love sometimes
will leave you feeling sad and blue.
l ain't talking about monkey junk.
And it consisted
between male and female.
And that means two people,
supposed to be in love
when one or the other
deceives the other through their love.
Ronnie?
Are you okay? Baby?
Baby. Baby.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
lt's okay.
I never Iaid a hand on her in anger.
Not one time, R.L.
Not even when I was drinking.
But this here business
got me wondering
what a good shake and sIap
wouId do for her.
We gonna keep that taIk
between us now.
Don't you go in there
with that shit on your tongue.
I ain't start this shit, R.L.
You wanna pray with me
before you go in, Laz?
HeavenIy Father, we do not question
your divine pIan for us,
but in these times,
when our spirit Iies in shadow,
when we are Iost,
we ask for your strength.
We ask for strength
to surpass aII understanding.
In your name we pray. Amen.
Can't remember the Iast time
I saw you in that suit.
At your mamma's funeraI.
I was a paIIbearer, remember?
How about I get you foIks some coffee
before I take your order?

and get with one of them counseIors.

God forgive you
for what you done to me.
Let me go.
