Early in the mornin' when its dark and dreary out door
Early in the mornin' when its dark and dreary out door
I had a man who makes a web and hide while you sleeps and sno' (snore)
Never tried to sleep, mean eyes watch me day and night
Never tried to sleep, mean eyes watchin' day and night
Catch every fly as fast as she can lite
That black man of mine sure has his spider ways
That black man of mine sure has his spider ways
Been crawlin' 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
