In a candlelit cafe down in New Orleans
Where they play guitar and shake tambourine
I met a woman and we began to talk
And strange things began to happen in the dark
And I kissed her, I couldn't resist her
There I discovered, yeah, that I loved her
But how was I to know as I sat beside her
That I was falling for the black widow spider, now
ย
On the very night that she found me
She began to spin her web all around me
She blinded me with kisses so that I couldn't see
How she spun her web of tragedy
Said she'll love me, put no one above me
She'll call me honey, she'll count my money
But how was I to know as I sat down beside her
That I was falling for the black widow spider
ย
Got a heart cold as ice inside her
ย
Hey, now
If you're ever down South, down in New Orleans
Where the Creole ladies serve your rice with red beans
Take care, my friend, beware
'Cause strange things are known to happen there
You might get sued up with a black widow spider
Got a heart cold as ice inside her
