lyrics

Black Widow
words and music Lynne Hanson

raven hair
long green dress
red wine lips
rose tattoo above her breast
deep blue eyes
(she's the) kind men don't forget

she sets hearts on fire
with those long long legs
sweet sweet smile
she's a powder keg
strong men fall down
on their knees and beg beg beg

CHORUS:
Black Widow she's a carnal mistake
Black Widow there is no escape
she's the last bad choice
any man is gonna make

she's been married 5 times
that sweet Northern Belle
husbands drop like flies
it never ends well
the rumours swirl
but dead men don't tell

how she plans
to the smallest detail
she ain't never been caught
ain't spent a day in jail
she sure looks good
in that long black veil

CHORUS

her grieving heart
heals up awful quick
didn't take long
to find husband number six
he's a little naive
and a whole lot rich

they were last seen
on hwy 105
newlywed ragtop down
out for a drive
he was looking kinda pale
ain't gonna survive ....

Roots music, rough-around-the-edges folk. Canadian songwriter Lynne Hanson prefers “porch music with a little red dirt.” Hanson's songs are like a favorite pair of jeans. They're faded and worn through in spots, with a bit of honestly-acquired grit ground into the seams. ... more
