| 作词 : Ramsey | |
| spider john is my name friend | |
| I'm in between freights and | |
| I sure would be obliged | |
| If you'd share your company | |
| I'm on my way to nowhere been running from my pastrunning from the things i used to bee | |
| 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'm old and bent and devil sent, runnin' out of time | |
| When I long ago held a royal flush in my hand | |
| Chorus:Oh, | |
| I was a supermarket fool | |
| I was a motor bank stool-pidgeon, robbin' my hometown | |
| I thought | |
| I lost my blues,yes | |
| I thought | |
| I paid my dues | |
| I thought | |
| I'd found a life to suit my style | |
| But here I sit old spider john the robber-man | |
| Long, tall, and handsome | |
| Yes, old spider john with a loaded hand, takin' ransom | |
| Then one day | |
| I met diamond lill | |
| 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 | |
| Spider he loved his lilly so much he could not confess his sins | |
| For he knew if he did lilly would surely take her leave | |
| But you know that the word got around and lilly left town | |
| And he never saw her again | |
| Tossin' and turnin', 'causin' my heart to grieve | |
| Chorus:Oh, | |
| I was a supermarket fool | |
| I was a motor bank stool-pidgeon,robbin' my hometown | |
| I thought | |
| I lost my blues, yes | |
| I thought | |
| I paid my dues | |
| I thought | |
| I'd found a life to suit my style | |
| And I was spider john the robber-man | |
| Long, tall, and handsome | |
| Yes, I was spider john with a loaded hand, takin' ransom | |
| That is all my story | |
| It's been these thirty years since | |
| I took to the road | |
| To find my precious jewel one | |
| And if you see my lilly, won't 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 |
