Van Zandt, Townes - Black Widow Blues Lyrics
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 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

Waiting around to die is another great TVZ song
"We've got a place for ya. Mena . . . Arkansas."
American made sucks but this song was good 👍
i liked it. not a masterpiece but was enjoyable.
My mom truly is a black window spider and my dad truly is a diamond back rattler. Not literally, but they easily show these qualities.
American made. Great movie and great song!
American Made baby!
I am Russian and this song resonates so much. People are people everywhere.
American made anyone?
Everyone
Who else is here because of American Made?
The movie American Made brought me here
A songwriting genius, that was way before his time!
"JB"......
my family and i are from Baton Rouge and my mother was a real estate agent there she knew the Seals family and i went to school with Barrys nephews his nephew was best man at my wedding, the family is a Baton Rouge staple and their money came from a string of funeral homes
Barry Seal was screwed by his on government
Man this shit was so fuckin funny when they had to run to Arkansas 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
TVZ was cool long before American Made.

Got an evening full of time

Lovin' gonna make you mine
Ain't never seen your town before
