Bessie Smith - Spider Man Blues Lyrics

Lyrics Spider Man Blues - Bessie Smith



Early in the morning when it's dark and dreary outdoors
Early in the morning when it's dark and dreary outdoors
Spider Man makes a web and hides while you sleep and snore
Never tried to sleep, mean eyes watch me day and night
Never tried to sleep, mean eyes watching day and night
Catch every fly as fast as she can light
That black man of mine sure has his spider ways
That black man of mine sure has his spider ways
Been crawling after me all of my natural days
I'm like a poor fly, Spider Man, please let me go
I'm like a poor fly, Spider Man, please let me go
You've got me locked up in your house and I can't break down your door
Somebody please kill me, and throw me in the sea
Somebody please kill me, and throw me in the sea
This Spider Man of mine is going to be the death of poor me



Writer(s): Bessie Smith, Harold Gray
