Keep on Runnin' (Crawlin' Black Spider) (John Lee Hooker cover) Lyrics

When will you do what you say you?ll do?
How could you really do it?
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
You?ll lose your heart
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
Run on, run on. You?ll rule your day.

Crawlin black spider baby
Crawlin black spider

Begin to crawl on baby with the cracks were very high
Just keep on crawlin till the day I die

Crawlin black spider

When will you do what you say you?ll do?
How could you really do it?
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
You?ll lose your heart
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
Run on, run on and you?ll rule your day

Crawlin? black spider

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
