Black Widow Blues Lyrics – Townes Van Zandt

Soundtrack Album: American Made

Black Widow Blues Text

I got a black widow spider for mama, Lord
Got a diamond-backed rattler for pa
Well, I got me a woman down in New Orleans
Got a friend in Arkansas

Got a morning full of make believe
Got an evening full of time

I've got the hands, pretty lady
Gonna make you grieve
Lovin' gonna make you mine

Ain't never seen your town before
And I won't be back again
I need me a place to hide my face
From the howlin' of the wind

I got the blues sewn into my jacket sleeve
Got a goatskin full of wine

I got the hands, pretty lady
Gonna make you grieve
And the lovin' gonna make you mine

So light the lantern above your door
And hold your curtains wide
Take the ribbon from your hair
And lay it by your side

And I ain't looking for a lie to believe
My own'll do me fine

I got the hands, pretty lady
Gonna make you grieve
And the lovin' gonna make you mine

I got the hands, pretty lady
Gonna make you grieve
The lovin' gonna make you mine

Well, I got the hands, pretty lady
Gonna make you grieve
The lovin' gonna make you mine

Well, I got the hands, pretty lady
Gonna make you grieve

The song by Townes Van Zandt is a mixture of blues and country rock with a little slice of folk. Altogether it makes interesting fusion, where on the foreground is his voice. Lyrics are about his hollow life full of grieves. He has interesting presents for his papa and mama and got a bunch of friends in different places of the country. He doesn’t want to return to a little hometown of his girlfriend and it seems like he wants to forget about her either. He has lots of time during the day, especially evenings, and will search for a place to hide his face from the winds blowing right on him. He has a head full of lies.
