The Spider and the Fly (feat. James Cotton)

Lyrics

Sittin', thinkin', sinkin', drinkin'
 Wonderin' what I'd do when I'm through tonight
 Smokin', mopin', maybe just hopin'
 Some little girl will pass on by
 Don't want to be alone but I love my girl at home
 I remember what she said
 She said, "my, my, my, don't tell lies, keep fidelity in your head"
 "My my my, don't tell lies, when you're done you should go to bed"
 Don't even say hi, like a spider to a fly
 Jump right ahead and you're dead
 Sit up, fed up, low down, go 'round
 Down to the bar at the place I'm at
 Sittin', drinkin', superficially thinkin'
 About the rinsed-out blonde on my left
 Then I say, "hi", like a spider to a fly
 Rememberin' what my little girl said, alright
 (...)
 She was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
 I woulda' run away but I was on my own
 She told me later she's a machine operator
 She said she liked the way I held the microphone
 I said "my, my" like a spider to a fly
 Jump right ahead in my web, yeah
