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'm talking about the blues!

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?

We won't be staying Iong.

about this.

You sneaking around behind my back,

Iooking at me Iike I'm a fooI.

What's friendIy about that?

I'm not ready to grow oId, Laz.

Living with you, I feeI it.

Like I'm one foot in the dirt.

Don't taIk to me about sick!

I ain't been right

Keeps the heat on.

-Kept us warm for 12 years.

-Laz, you can't say nothing that's...

Look, Iook, Iook.

Look, maybe we can do Iike R.L. said,

come down to the church

and get with one of them counseIors.

I don't Iove you no more.

I'm sorry you hurting.

I said my piece.

God forgive you

for what you done to me.

Let me go.

My daddy toId me

and that's what you've done.

-Laz, I said Iet...
