Black Widow Blues Lyrics


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

Townes Van Zandt (John Townes Van Zandt, born at Fort Worth, Texas, March 7, 1944 and died at Smyrna, Tennessee, January 1, 1997). He was a country and folk singer and poet. While alive, Van Zandt was labelled as a cult musician. Though he had a small and devoted fanbase, he never had a successful album or single, and even had difficulty keeping his recordings in print. Many of his songs, including "If I Needed You," "To Live Is To Fly," and "No Place to Fall" are considered standards of their genre. AllMusic has called him "one of the greatest country and folk artists of his generation."
