So cold in China, birds can't hardly sing
So cold in China, eeee, birds can't hardly sing
You didn't make me mad 'til you broke my diamond ring

Hey, mama, won't be bad no more
Take me, mama, won't be bad no more
You can get my lovin' if you let that old black snake go

Black snake crawlin', crawlin' in my room
Black snake crawlin', crawlin' in my room
Some high brown woman better come and get this here black snake soon

Hey, mama, what have I said and done?
Hey, mama, what have I said and done?
Some joker your lover, says it's sure gonna be my ruin

Hey, cryin', mama, papa, says, I do love, I do doub', do doub', do love you
Cryin', eeeee, your daddy do love you
You's a high-steppin' mama and I don't care what you do

I was a little boy, on my way to school
Was a little boy, ooooo, on my way to school
Met a high brown woman and she broke my Mammy's rule

Mama say I'm reckless, Daddy say Im young and wild
Mama say I'm reckless, ooooo, Daddy say I'm young and wild
"Reason he's so reckless, he's my baby child ."
