Kate McCannon
Well the raven is a wicked bird, it's wings are black as sin
And he floats outside my prison windows, mocking those within
And he sings to me real low
It's hell to where you go
For you did murder Kate McCannon
When I first met Tom McCannon I was working in the mud
Said he had himself a dark haired daughter, long green eyes
And when she and I did meet, she was bathing in the creek
Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler, that ain't no lie
So I went courting Kate McCannon
Got me a job and quit my rambling
Everyday I just save, a quarter of my pay
I can buy a diamond ring
One day I come home to find
My darling angel is not inside
So I made for the creek, where she and I did meet
Found her with some another lover
And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
And he floats outside my prison windows, mocking those within
And he sings to me real low
It's hell to where you go
For you did murder Kate McCannon
When I first met Tom McCannon I was working in the mud
Said he had himself a dark haired daughter, long green eyes
And when she and I did meet, she was bathing in the creek
Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler, that ain't no lie
So I went courting Kate McCannon
Got me a job and quit my rambling
Everyday I just save, a quarter of my pay
I can buy a diamond ring
One day I come home to find
My darling angel is not inside
So I made for the creek, where she and I did meet
Found her with some another lover
And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
