Ballad of Spider John 
By: Willis A. Ramsey 
1974 
"Spider John" is my name friend 
I'm in between freights and I sure would be obliged 
If you'd 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'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 declare 
That 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 see that the word got around and Lilly left town 
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 
But here I sit old Spider John the robber-man 
Long, tall, and handsome 
Yes, old 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 ole Spider got tangled the black web that he spun
