about

The local sheriff knows she killed her husband for killing her brother but blackmails her into marrying him to keep her secret anyway.

lyrics

Go on and tell me a story
about two dead boys and a black widow on the run.
Go on and tell me a story
and if you promise to tell me the truth.
I promise not to tell no one.

Hey there little lady you’re a real bad baby.
There’s something going on here and your cover’s kinda shakey.
Go on and start again and this time try to get it right
‘cause I know what you been doing in the middle of the night
and it doesn’t do a pretty little lady like you no good.

Come on did you really think you wouldn’t be discovered?
We really should be looking for your husband and your brother.
Tell me what do you expect that we are gonna find?
You could tell the truth and save yourself some peace of mind
and maybe make believe this little meeting never happened at all

Go on and tell me a story
about two dead boys and a black widow on the run.
Go on and tell me a story
and if you promise to tell me the truth.
I promise not to tell no one.

You ain’t gonna get a better offer than the one you see.
You’re needing some protection, but ain’t nothing in this world for free.
You’re in the deep end of the water and it’s only getting hotter -
I could take good care of you and good care of your daughter
if you take this ring and marry me beneath the Joshua tree.

Go on and tell me a story
about two dead boys and a black widow on the run.
Go on and tell me a story
and if you promise to tell me the truth.
I promise not to tell no one.
Oh, not to tell no one.
Oh, not to tell no one.

Go on and tell me a story
about two dead boys and a black widow, that widow that’s on the run.
Go on and tell me a story
and if you promise to tell me the truth.
I promise not to tell no one.
Oh, not to tell no one.
Oh, not to tell no one.
