The Mary Ellen Spider

by Stan Rogers (tune) and Bob Blue (lyrics)

A metaphor of persistance

This is a parody of Mary Ellen Carter, a bit sillier and with even less subtext. Various versions of this exist, with the earliest I (Skyler) am aware of being Tom Smith’s version on youtube. Sometimes this is called Eensie Weensie Spider, but there’s a different song sometimes using that title.

An audio recording from Boston 2024 is also available.
