Box of Spiders
Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders
Says they're on me when I sleep
Waiting in the out-house for me
Underneath the seat
Great-grandmothers 'bout ninety-seven
She is sure when she gets to heaven
Old St. Peter's gonna throw his arms around her and say
‽I've waited so long for us to meetâ€
Put the general in a box and buried him behind
The stony point church of Christ when I was three
When the Lord comes to take me I'll die with a smile on
'Cause He's taking all my pains and fears
Said the generals last words were
"It's hotter than hell in here"
Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders
So she told me as a child
I would hold it in for hours
Too mean to die, too mean to die, too mean
