[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Spider John - Sam Bush

[00:00:07] Spider John is my name friend

[00:00:10] I'm in between freights and I sure would be obliged

[00:00:14] If I'd could share your company

[00:00:20] I'm on my way to nowhere I been runnin' from

[00:00:25] My past

[00:00:28] Runnin' from the things I used to be

[00:00:37] Well I know my words sound strange to you

[00:00:41] But if you'll wait till my song is sung and

[00:00:44] My story's told

[00:00:46] You might come to understand

[00:00:51] Why I'm old and bent and devil spent and a

[00:00:55] Runnin' out of time

[00:00:58] When not long ago I held a royal flush in

[00:01:01] My hand

[00:01:04] Oh I was a supermarket fool I was a motorbank

[00:01:11] Stool pigeon

[00:01:14] Robbin' my own time

[00:01:19] I thought I'd lost my blues yes I thought I'd

[00:01:23] Paid my dues

[00:01:26] And I thought I'd found a life to suit my

[00:01:29] Style

[00:01:32] And I was spider John the robberman

[00:01:37] Long tall and handsome

[00:01:41] Yes I was spider John with a loaded hand

[00:01:46] Takin' ransom

[00:01:53] And one day I met diamond lil

[00:01:57] She was as sweet a thing I declare at

[00:02:00] The summer wind

[00:02:02] Had ever blown my way

[00:02:07] Lil she had no idea of my illustrious occupation

[00:02:14] She thought I was a saint not a sinner

[00:02:17] Gone astray

[00:02:25] Spider he loved his lily so much

[00:02:28] He could not confess his sins for he knew if

[00:02:31] He did

[00:02:32] She would surely take her leave

[00:02:37] But you know that the word got around and lily

[00:02:40] Left town

[00:02:41] And he never saw her again

[00:02:45] Tossin' and turnin' causin' his heart to grieve

[00:02:51] Oh I was a supermarket fool I was a motorbank

[00:02:57] Stool pigeon

[00:03:01] Robbin' my own time

[00:03:05] I thought I'd lost my blues yes I thought I'd

[00:03:10] Paid my dues

[00:03:12] And I thought I'd found a life to suit my

[00:03:16] Style

[00:03:18] And I was spider John the robberman

[00:03:23] Long tall and handsome

[00:03:27] Yes I was spider John with a loaded hand

[00:03:33] Takin' ransom

[00:03:40] And that is all my story

[00:03:43] It's been these thirty years since I took to the road

[00:03:48] To find my precious jewel one

[00:03:53] Now if you see my lily won't you give her

[00:03:58] My regards

[00:04:00] Tell her old spider got tangled in the black web

[00:04:04] That he spun

[00:04:06] You can tell her that spider got tangled in the

[00:04:10] Black web that he spun
