that is one of my FAVORITE songs ever...my best friend whom is not with us anymore is VERY much a part of that song...... Never thought to see anyone do this song... STOKED!!!!
I have a recent recording of them doing this song on my page from just a few days ago at the Healing Appalachia show in Lewisburg, West Virginia. It was even better than this one, if you asked me. Check it out! Sorry to hear about your friend 😞 ❤️
Lafayette Louisiana .. early may 1980... that Acadian motel .... ... I haven't stopped since ... .. that is all my story .. ots been all these years .. I've been on the road .. ... and if you see my kessi .. give her my regards.....
Spider John is my name friends I’m in between freights and I’d sure be obliged If I could share your company I’m on my way to nowhere I’ve been running from my past Running from; the things I used to be I know my words sound strange to you If you wait until my song is sung and my story told You might come to understand Oh I’m old, bent, devil sent And I’m running out of time Not lot ago, boys, I had a royal flush in my hand I was a super market fool, I was a roll-the-bank stool pigeon. Robbing my hometown I thought I’d paid my dues, lord I thought I’d lost my blues Thought I’d found the life to suit my style Spider John the robber man, Long tall and handsome Spider John with the loaded hand Taking ransom Then one day I met Diamond Lil And she was the prettiest thing I declare, that the summer wind had ever blown my way Oh but Lily had no idea Of my illustrious occupation She thought I was a saint not sinner gone astray Spidey loved his Lily so much, He could not confess his sin. For he knew If he did She’d surely take her leave But you know word got around And Lily left town And he never saw her again Oh tossing and turning and causing his heart to grieve And I was a super market fool, I was a roll the bank, stool pigeon Robbing my hometown I thought I’d paid my dues, Lord I thought I’d lost my blues Thought I’d found the life to suit my style Spider John, the Robber man Long tall and handsome Spider John with the loaded hand, Taking ransom That is all my story It’s been at least 30 years Since I took to the road Find my precious Lily one If you see my Lily Won’t you give her my regards Tell her Spider got wrapped up In the black web that he spun Oh tell her ole spidey got wrapped up In the black web that he spun
i need this in my life. please don’t ever take it down
fadedP I promise i’ll leave it here.

Spider John is my name friends
I’m in between freights and I’d sure be obliged
If I could share your company
I’m on my way to nowhere
I’ve been running from my past
Running from; the things I used to be
I know my words sound strange to you
If you wait until my song is sung and my story told
You might come to understand
Oh I’m old, bent, devil sent
And I’m running out of time
Not lot ago, boys, I had a royal flush in my hand
I was a super market fool, I was a roll-the-bank stool pigeon.
Robbing my hometown
I thought I’d paid my dues, lord I thought I’d lost my blues
Thought I’d found the life to suit my style
Spider John the robber man,
Long tall and handsome
Spider John with the loaded hand
Taking ransom
Then one day I met Diamond Lil
And she was the prettiest thing
I declare, that the summer wind
had ever blown my way
Oh but Lily had no idea
Of my illustrious occupation
She thought I was a saint not sinner gone astray
Spidey loved his Lily so much,
He could not confess his sin.
For he knew If he did
She’d surely take her leave
But you know word got around
And Lily left town
And he never saw her again
Oh tossing and turning and causing his heart to grieve
And I was a super market fool,
I was a roll the bank, stool pigeon
Robbing my hometown
I thought I’d paid my dues,
Lord I thought I’d lost my blues
Thought I’d found the life to suit my style
Spider John, the Robber man
Long tall and handsome
Spider John with the loaded hand,
Taking ransom
That is all my story
It’s been at least 30 years
Since I took to the road
Find my precious Lily one
If you see my Lily
Won’t you give her my regards
Tell her Spider got wrapped up
In the black web that he spun
Oh tell her ole spidey got wrapped up
In the black web that he spun
