I got a girl, lives up on the hill.
Tryin' to quit me, Lord, but I love her still.

Got eyes like diamonds, they shine like Klondike gold.
I like diamonds, they shine like Klondike gold.
Every time she loves me, she makes my blood run cold.

Body beautiful, but you've got to die someday.
Body beautiful, but you've got to die someday.
All I want's a little lovin', just before you pass away.

Instrumental break.

Aw, baby, you'all could be teachin' me how to rhyme.
Aw, baby, you'all could be teachin' me how to rhyme.
Sit quiet in the middle and daddy will light your fire.

Spider Man Blues - Bessie Smith 1928

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
