Crawling Kingsnake
The Black Keys Lyrics

(Ready? Yeah)

Well I'm a crawling king snake, baby
Crawl up on your door
Crawl up to your window, baby
Crawl up on your floor
I do anything I want to, baby
Crawl up on your door
Crawling king snake
And I'm going

Yeah, I'ma crawl up to your window, baby
Crawl up to your door
See anything I want to, baby
Crawl up on your door
Feel me coming in
Crawl up on your door, yeah
Crawling king snake
And I wanna

Well my mamma caught me crawlin'
With those girls I know
I wasn't very big then
And I wanna crawl some more
Do you love me, ma?
Crawl up to your door
Only thing you wanted, baby
Crawl up to your floor
Crawling king snake
And I wanna

Crawling king snake, baby
Crawl up on your door
Do anything I want to
Crawl up on your floor
Catch me crawling in
Do you want some more?
Know I want you
Crawl up on your door
Crawling king snake
And I wanna

As a mid 20 year old and being raised by a guy who took me to BB King and Buddy Guy before I was 10. I can't explain how important these guys have been the last 10+ years. Makes me happy to hear blues being kept alive by groups like the Keys and Gary Clark

Underrated how?🤔 You can't mention blues without acknowledging the Delta roots and its legends in the genre. People just throw that term "underrated" around where it has no legitimacy and I don't get it.🤷 Literally no one is under rating Mississippi blues.

@outlawblossum This one really has some influence from Junior Kimbrough, as well, especially the vocals. He & RL Burnside were two other great Mississippi Delta Blues-men, along with JL Hooker. Really digging this one!

cocamojoe

@outlawblossum as a kid, my parents used to take us to jazz bars (the bassist was an old family friend), and that love of jazz did eventually branch out into the blues (very different styles of music, but both from the same bedrock!).

So I’m 13 now, but all my life when I was little my dad used to play songs by the black keys all the time (lonely boy, little black submarines, gold on the ceiling and tighten up, just to name a few)to the point where we had the album turn blue by them on repeat in the car for hours on a road trip. To this day that’s still my favorite album. I have listened to every album they have released and I actually saw them play live in L.A back when they released the let’s rock album, and they were on tour. It’s crazy how far they’ve come, from playing in their basement, to actually playing live shows in front of thousands of people. I’m glad their back and making another album and I’m very grateful my dad showed me this band. I love this band, and music.

A repetitive low key blues groove like this is never going to be one of my favorites, but it's a great meditation and it makes me excited to hear the rest of the album. If there's more tracks with their old school sound and grit, but a little hookier, with some progression and variation, they're going to be so good.

CornPop

@mvellis its a traditional Blues song that has been recorded hundreds of times by many different Blues players since the 1920's this version though is a Cover of Junior Kimbroughs version if the song

It's a John Lee Hooker song, and they faithfully copy his repetitive style
