Spider john is my name friend

I 'n between freights

And I sure would be obliged

If you share your company

I know this may sound strange to you

But if you wait till the song

Is sung and the story is told

You might come to understand

Oh I old and bent

And devil sent runnin out of time

When I long ago

Held a royal flush in my hand

Oh I was a supermarket fool

I was a motor bank stool

Robbin my hometown

I thought I lost my blues

Yes I thought I paid my dues

I thought I found a life to suit my style

But here I sit old spider john the robber

Long tall and handsome

Yes old spider john with a loaded hand

Takin ransom

Then one day I met diamond l'll

She was the sweetest thing

I declareThat the summer

Breeze had ever blown my way

But lilly she had no idea

Of my illustrious occupation

She thought I was a saint

Not a sinner gone astray

But you know that

The word got around and lilly left town

And he never saw her again

Tossin and turnin my heart to grieve

Oh I was a supermarket fool

I was a motor bank stool

Robbin my hometown

I thought I lost my blues

Yes I thought I paid my dues

I thought I found a life to suit my style

And I was spider john the robber

Long tall and handsome

Yes I was spider john with a loaded hand

Takin ransom

That is all my story

It been these thirty years

Since I took to the road

To find my precious jewel one

And if you see my lilly

Won you give her my regards

Tell her ole spider got tangled

In the black web that he spun

You can tell her that spider got tangled

The black web that he spun
