In a candlelit café down in New Orleans Where they play guitar and shake tambourines I met a woman and we began to talk And strange things began to happen in the dark And I kissed her, couldn't resist her And I discovered that I loved her But how was I to know when I satisfied her That I was falling for the black widow spider? On that very night in town She began to spin a web all around me She blinded with kisses so that I couldn't see She spun her web around me Then she lеft me with no one above mе Said call me honey, look at my money But how was I to know as I sat down beside her I was falling for the black widow spider? Got a heart cold as ice inside her Hey now, if you've ever down south, down in New Orleans With a Creole lady, [?] Take care my friend, beware, pray it will not happen that You've mated with a black widow spider Got a heart cold as ice inside her Gold a hold on right down inside her I gotta tell you about the black widow spider
