Here's my transcription from the sound file at Red Hot Jazz.

(I can't quite get the word at the beginning of verse 3. Horns? Homes? Others have rendered this as "On the Black Mountain" but I don't think this is correct. The song seems to be about the town of Black Mountain, North Carolina, not the mountain; therefore in Black Mountain is appropriate, not on the Black Mountain.)

BLACK MOUNTAIN BLUES
(H. Cole)
(As recorded by Bessie Smith, 1930)

Back in Black Mountain, a child will smack your face. (2x)
Babies cryin' for liquor, and all the birds sing bass.

Black Mountain people are bad as they can be. (2x)
They uses gun powder just to sweeten their tea.

... in Black Mountain can't keep a man in jail. (2x)
If the jury finds them guilty, the judge'll go they bail.

Had a man in Black Mountain, the sweetest man in town. (2x)
He met a city gal, and he throwed me down.

I'm bound for Black Mountain, me and my razor and my gun. (2x)
I'm gonna shoot him if he stands still, and cut him if he runs.

Down in Black Mountain, they all shoots quick and straight. (2x)
The bullet'll get you if you starts to dodgin' too late.

Got the devil in my soul and I'm full of bad booze. (2x)
I'm out here for trouble. I've got the Black Mountain blues.
