John Lee Hooker - Crawlin' King Snake

(Bernard Bessman / John Lee Hooker)

You know I'm a crawlin' king snake baby, and I rules my den
You know I'm a crawlin' king snake baby, and I rules my den
I don't want you hangin' around my mate, wanna use her for myself

You know you caught me crawlin' baby when the, when the grass was very high
I'm just gonna keep on crawlin' now baby until the day I die,
Because I'm a crawlin' king snake baby, and I rules my den
Don't you hangin' around my mate, wanna use her for myself

You know I'm gon' crawl up to your window baby,
Wanna crawl up to your door, you got anything I want baby,
Wanna crawl up on your floor
Because I'm a crawlin' king snake baby, and I rules my den

You know you caught me crawlin' baby when the, when the grass was very high
I'm just gonna keep on crawlin' now baby until the day I die,
Because I'm a crawlin' king snake baby, and I rules my den
I don't want you hangin' around my mate, wanna use her for myself
