Way out on the edge of the riverside
Way beyond where most people go
Lives a widow who's a bit on the dark side
She likes to feed when the night winds blow

So watch out if she ever puts a spell on you
Watch out if she ever makes your dreams come true

I was hired long ago to investigate
The widow woman with the Cajun name
It seems her men disapear on the first date
It seems her men are never seen again

So watch out if she ever puts a spell on you
Watch out if she ever makes your dreams come true

The black widow knows your every weakness
The black widow knows your ever vice
The black widow knows your darkest secrets
Better take some advice
The black widow owns the dice

She lives alone in the heat of a full moon
She rolls the dice in the belly of her house
The smell of nightshade
Lingers in every room
You walk in and you don't walk out

So watch out if she ever puts a spell on you
Watch out if she ever makes your dreams come true

The black widow knows your every weakness
The black widow knows your ever vice
The black widow knows your darkest secrets
Better take some advice
The black widow owns the dice

Way out on the edge of the riverside
Way beyond where there ain't no light
I met a widow who's a bit on the dark side
And I remember how she took my life

So watch out if she ever puts a spell on you
Watch out if she ever makes your dreams come true
Watch out if the widow makes a move on you

The black widow knows your every weakness
The black widow knows your ever vice
The black widow knows your darkest secrets
Better take some advice
The black widow owns the dice
