Long Snake Moan

Deep in the heart of the city
Lives a woman who is known to many
Oh, hear the long snake moan

We go over and see her
When the baby's got the chills or fever
Oh, hear the long snake moan

She's got the remedy, she's got the cure
In a cabinet in the kitchen, in the pocket of her dress
All things mysterious belong to her
Incantations and a cool compress

She knows the plants in the alley
That put a soothing to an aching belly
Oh, hear the long snake moan

She calls cats as her children
If she's got twenty, she's got a million
Oh, hear the long snake moan

She's got the remedy, she's got the cure
In a cabinet in the kitchen, in the pocket of her dress
All things mysterious belong to her
Incantations and a cool compress

At night you can hear her
Calling spirits to come appear to her
Oh, hear the long snake moan

Her voice rattles and trembles
Like the wind that shakes the windows
Oh, hear the long snake moan

She's got the remedy, she's got the cure
In a cabinet in the kitchen, in the pocket of her dress
All things mysterious belong to her
Incantations and a cool compress
