《Ballad Of Spider John》歌词

[00:00:12] Spider john is my name friend

[00:00:16] I'm in between freights and I sure would be obliged

[00:00:21] If you'd share your company

[00:00:27] I know this may sound strange to you

[00:00:31] But if you wait 'til the song is sung and the story's told

[00:00:36] You might come to understand

[00:00:42] Why I'm old and bent and devil's been runnin' out of time

[00:00:50] When I long ago held a royal flush in my hand

[00:00:57] Oh

[00:00:58] I was a super market fool

[00:01:02] I was a roll the bank

[00:01:05] A

[00:01:05] Stool pigeon

[00:01:08] Robbing my hometown

[00:01:14] I thought I'd lost the blues

[00:01:17] Yes

[00:01:18] I thought I'd paid my dues

[00:01:22] I thought I'd found the life to suit my style

[00:01:28] But here I sit ol' spider john

[00:01:32] The robber man

[00:01:34] Long

[00:01:35] Tall and handsome

[00:01:38] Yes

[00:01:39] Ol' spider john with the loaded hand

[00:01:44] Taking ransom

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

[00:01:57] She was the sweetest thing

[00:01:59] I declare

[00:02:01] That the summer breeze ever blown my way

[00:02:08] But

[00:02:08] Lady

[00:02:13] She had no idea my illustrious occupation

[00:02:20] She thought I was a saint

[00:02:22] Not a sinner gone astray

[00:02:31] But you see that word got around and lily left town

[00:02:36] Never saw her again

[00:02:40] Tossin' and turnin'

[00:02:42] Causin' my heart to grieve

[00:02:46] Oh

[00:02:47] I was a super market fool

[00:02:51] I was roll the bank

[00:02:54] Stool pigeon

[00:02:58] Robbing my hometown

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

[00:03:07] Thought I'd paid my dues

[00:03:11] I thought I'd found the life to suit my style

[00:03:17] But here I sit ol' spider john

[00:03:21] The robber man

[00:03:23] Long

[00:03:24] Tall and handsome

[00:03:26] Yes

[00:03:28] Ol' spider john with the loaded hand

[00:03:33] Taking ransom

[00:03:42] That is all my story

[00:03:46] Been these thirty years since I took to the road

[00:03:51] Find my precious jewel one

[00:03:57] If you see my lily

[00:04:00] Won't you give her my regards

[00:04:04] Tell her ol' spider got tangled

[00:04:07] In the black web that he spun

[00:04:11] You can tell her that ol' spider got tangled

[00:04:14] In the black web that he spun
