Black Widow Blues |
| I got a black widow spider for mama, Lord |
| Got a diamond-backed rattler for pa |
| Well, I got me a woman down in New Orleans |
| Got a friend in Arkansas |
| Got a morning full of make believe |
| Got an evening full of time |
| I’ve got the hands, pretty lady |
| Gonna make you grieve |
| Lovin' gonna make you mine |
| Ain’t never seen your town before |
| And I won’t be back again |
| I need me a place to hide my face |
| From the howlin' of the wind |
| I got the blues sewn into my jacket sleeve |
| Got a goatskin full of wine |
| I got the hands, pretty lady |
| Gonna make you grieve |
| And the lovin' gonna make you mine |
| So light the lantern above your door |
| And hold your curtains wide |
| Take the ribbon from your hair |
| And lay it by your side |
| And I ain’t looking for a lie to believe |
| My own’ll do me fine |
| I got the hands, pretty lady |
| Gonna make you grieve |
| And the lovin' gonna make you mine |
| I got the hands, pretty lady |
| Gonna make you grieve |
| The lovin' gonna make you mine |
| Well, I got the hands, pretty lady |
| Gonna make you grieve |
| The lovin' gonna make you mine |
| Well, I got the hands, pretty lady |
| Gonna make you grieve |
