It's Cold In China Blues

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 till 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, ooh, on my way to school
 Met a high brown woman and she broke my mammy's rule
 Mama say I'm reckless, Daddy say I'm young and wild
 Mama say I'm reckless, ooh, Daddy say I'm young and wild
 "Reason he's so reckless, he's my baby child"
