I make no guarantees that I have them right, but this is what I hear in this recording:

Spider Man Blues

"Spider Man Blues" Words & Music By Bessie Smith & H.Gray.

Early in the mornin' when it's dark and dreary outdoors,
Early in the mornin' when it's dark and dreary outdoors,
Spider Man make his web and hides while you sleep and snore.

I try to sleep mean eyes watch me day and night.
I try to sleep mean eyes watch me day and night.
Gets every flower as fast as he can light.

That black man of mine threw half his pride away.
That black man of mine threw half his pride away.
Came crawlin' after me all of my natural day.

I'm like a poor flower. Spider Man, please let me go.
I'm like a poor flower. Spider Man, please let me go.
You've got me locked up in your house an' I can't break down your door.

Somebody please kill me and throw me in the street.
Somebody please kill me and throw me in the street.
This Spider Man of mine is going be the death of poor me.
