Hmm, hmm, black snake crawlin' in my room

Better tell somebody better come and get this black snake soon

Oh, oh, that must have been a bedbug

'Cause a chinch coudn't bite me that hard

Oh, oh, that must have been a bed bug

Honey a chinch can't bite me that hard

Ask me for fifty cents, she said "lemon, ain't a child in the yard"

Honey, that's all right, that's all right for you
Reiteration of acceptance, expressing that it's fine for the woman.
Darling, that's all right, there ain't no way with you

Hmm, hmm, what's the matter now?
Expressing concern or inquiry about a current issue.
Hmm, hmm, honey what's the matter now?

Tell me what's the matter
Requesting an explanation for the current problem.
Baby, don't like no black snake nohow

Where, wonder where my black snake gone?
Wondering about the whereabouts of a black snake.
Where, wonder where this black snake gone?

Black snake mama done run my darlin' home
The black snake mama has caused the singer's darling to leave home.
