Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm the Crawling King Snake and I rule my den
I'm the Crawling King Snake and I rule my den
Yeah, don't mess 'round with my mate
Gonna use her for myself
[Verse 2]
Caught me crawling, baby, when the grass is very high
Keep on crawling till the day I die
Crawling King Snake and I rule my den
You better give me what I want
Gonna crawl no more
[Verse 3]
Caught me crawling, baby, crawling 'round your door
See anything I want I'm gonna crawl on your floor
Let's crawl, and I rule my den
Come on, give me what I want
Ain't gonna crawl no more
[Verse 4]
Let's crawl a while
[Verse 5]
Come on, crawl
Come on, crawl
Get on out there on your hands and knees, baby
Crawl all over me
Just like the spider on the wall
Oh we gon' crawl
[Verse 6]
One more
[Verse 7]
Well, I'm the Crawling King Snake and I rule my den
Call me the Crawling King Snake and I rule my den
Yeah, don't mess 'round with my mate
Gonna use her for myself
Written by: Bernard Besman, John Lee Hooker
