Black mountain blues


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 cryin' 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 fire him if he stands still, I'll just cut 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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics BLACK MOUNTAIN BLUES of JANIS JOPLIN is also present in the album Early performances (1984)

Biografia

Janis Lyn Joplin (Port Arthur, Texas, January 19, 1943 – Los Angeles, California, October 4, 1970) was an American singer widely considered an icon of rock and blues music. She rose to fame in the late 1960s as the lead vocalist for the band Big Brother and the Holding Company but achieved international success with her solo albums. Her powerful voice and charismatic personality made her a legendary figure, despite a short career marked by personal struggles and addiction. Joplin was ranked 46th on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and 28th among the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time in 2008 by the same magazine. Some of her most famous songs include "Piece of My Heart", "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Cry Baby". The posthumously released album "Pearl" is considered one of her masterpieces.
