Black Veins Pt. 1
No, business ain't been good
Since that weather done turn bad
Business ain't been good
Since them winters all left mad
Ain't no medicine gonna help
Ain't no medicine gonna help, any more
My crops all been burned down
And my livestock is all dead
Mama ain't been cookin'
Pa said she ain't leavin' bed
Ain't no medicine gonna help
Ain't no medicine gonna help, any more
He got to tend to the fields!
So I packed up papa's pictures
And I kissed my mama's head
She said, "whatever you do, don't a-lose your soul
Or to me, then, you'll be dead"
"Do you hear me young man?"
"Do you hear me young man?" Yes ma'am
Well, the north side of Kentucky
Ain't like the south side of New Orleans
A filthy bunch of people
But there's a-good work by the sea
Said I'm gonna send some money home
Said I'm gonna send some money home, you'll see
You'll see!
Black veins, white face
Black veins, white face
Black veins, white face
When the needle finds its vein
Since that weather done turn bad
Business ain't been good
Since them winters all left mad
Ain't no medicine gonna help
Ain't no medicine gonna help, any more
My crops all been burned down
And my livestock is all dead
Mama ain't been cookin'
Pa said she ain't leavin' bed
Ain't no medicine gonna help
Ain't no medicine gonna help, any more
He got to tend to the fields!
So I packed up papa's pictures
And I kissed my mama's head
She said, "whatever you do, don't a-lose your soul
Or to me, then, you'll be dead"
"Do you hear me young man?"
"Do you hear me young man?" Yes ma'am
Well, the north side of Kentucky
Ain't like the south side of New Orleans
A filthy bunch of people
But there's a-good work by the sea
Said I'm gonna send some money home
Said I'm gonna send some money home, you'll see
You'll see!
Black veins, white face
Black veins, white face
Black veins, white face
When the needle finds its vein
