    Ballad of Spider John
    Jimmy Buffett

    "Spider John" is my name, friend
    I'm in between freights and I sure would be obliged
    If you'd share your company
    I know this may sound strange to you
    But if you wait 'til the song is sung and the story is told
    You might come to understand
    Oh, I'm old and bent and Devil sent, runnin' out of time
    When I long ago held a Royal Flush in my hand
    Oh, I was a supermarket fool
    I was a motor bank stool-pidgeon
    Robbin' my hometown
    I thought I'd lost the blues, yes I thought I paid my dues
    I thought I'd found a life to suit my style
    But here I sit old Spider John the robber-man
    Long, tall, and handsome
    Yes, old Spider John with a loaded hand, takin' ransom
    Then one day I met Diamond Lill
    She was the sweetest thing, I declare
    That the summer breeze had ever blown my way
    But Lilly she had no idea, of my illustrious occupation
    She thought I was a saint, not a sinner, gone astray, yeah
    But you see that the word got around and Lilly left town
    Never saw her again
    Tossin' and turnin'
    'Causin' my heart to grieve
    Oh, I was a supermarket fool
    I was a motor bank stool-pidgeon
    Robbin' my hometown
    I thought I'd lost the blues, yes I thought I'd paid my dues
    I thought I'd found a life to suit my style
    But here I sit old Spider John, the robber-man
    Long, tall, and handsome
    Yes, old Spider John with a loaded hand, takin' ransom
    That is all my story
    It's been these thirty years since I took to the road
    To find my precious jewel one
    If you see my Lilly, won't you give her my regards?
    Tell her ol' Spider got tangled
    In the black web that he spun
    You can tell her ol' Spider got tangled
    In the black web that he spun

    Hey Voit, a single would have sufficed.

    Has Stanton returned from the absent world the last month? He sure has. The DH role de moralized him.

    Yeah, and luckily for us, he hasn't really been tested much while playing defense so far.
