Ballad Of Spider John - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]
Spider john is my name friend[00:00:12]
I'm in between freights[00:00:16]
And I sure would be obliged[00:00:18]
If you'd share your company[00:00:21]
I know this may sound strange to you[00:00:28]
But if you wait till the song[00:00:31]
Is sung and the story is told[00:00:33]
You might come to understand[00:00:37]
Oh I'm old and bent[00:00:43]
And devil sent runnin' out of time[00:00:45]
When I long ago[00:00:51]
Held a royal flush in my hand[00:00:52]
Oh I was a supermarket fool[00:00:58]
I was a motor bank stool-pidgeon [00:01:02]
Robbin' my hometown[00:01:09]
I thought I lost my blues [00:01:15]
Yes I thought I paid my dues[00:01:18]
I thought I'd found a life to suit my style[00:01:22]
But here I sit old spider john the robber-man[00:01:29]
Long tall and handsome[00:01:35]
Yes old spider john with a loaded hand [00:01:39]
Takin' ransom[00:01:45]
Then one day I met diamond lill[00:01:54]
She was the sweetest thing [00:01:58]
I declareThat the summer[00:02:00]
Breeze had ever blown my way[00:02:02]
But lilly she had no idea [00:02:13]
Of my illustrious occupation[00:02:17]
She thought I was a saint [00:02:21]
Not a sinner gone astray[00:02:23]
But you know that[00:02:31]
The word got around and lilly left town[00:02:33]
And he never saw her again[00:02:37]
Tossin' and turnin' 'causin' my heart to grieve[00:02:41]
Oh I was a supermarket fool[00:02:48]
I was a motor bank stool-pidgeon [00:02:52]
Robbin' my hometown[00:02:58]
I thought I lost my blues [00:03:04]
Yes I thought I paid my dues[00:03:07]
I thought I'd found a life to suit my style[00:03:11]
And I was spider john the robber-man[00:03:18]
Long tall and handsome[00:03:23]
Yes I was spider john with a loaded hand [00:03:28]
Takin' ransom[00:03:34]
That is all my story[00:03:43]
It's been these thirty years[00:03:47]
Since I took to the road[00:03:49]
To find my precious jewel one[00:03:51]
And if you see my lilly [00:03:58]
Won't you give her my regards[00:04:01]
Tell her ole spider got tangled[00:04:05]
In the black web that he spun[00:04:07]
You can tell her that spider got tangled[00:04:12]
The black web that he spun[00:04:15]
