Box of Spiders Lyrics

Gram gram keeps a box of spiders
says they're on me when I sleep
waitin' in the outhouse for me
Underneath the seat
Great grandmother's bout 97
She is sure when she gets to heaven
Old St. Peter's gonna throw his arms around her and say
I've waited s-o-o-oo long for us to meet
Put the General in the 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
Because he's taking all my pain and fears
They said the General's last words were
'It's hotter than hell in here'
Gram gram keeps a box of spiders
So she told me as a child
I would hold it in for hours
to the hand of God
to the hand of God
to the hand of God
