Black Crow Blues
Babe, don't lie lonesome after I'm gone
Don't mourn your young life away
Just bury me low with a prayer and a song
Just for the breaking of day
Before the breaking of day
Well, it's a life worth the living but we all gotta die
All your crying won't do me no good
Just lower me down with a quick sad goodbye
Pour in the black Texas mud
Pour in the black Texas mud
It's a hard road you're travelin', you can't walk it alone
The big man to stand beside you
Take him down to the river, show him my bones
There lies a friend I once knew
There lies a friend I once knew
Black crow's a-screaming, the yellow sun's warm
And the grass tumbles tall down the hill
There's a cold wind blowing, it's bringin' storm
When the call of the black crow goes still
Black crow goes still
Don't mourn your young life away
Just bury me low with a prayer and a song
Just for the breaking of day
Before the breaking of day
Well, it's a life worth the living but we all gotta die
All your crying won't do me no good
Just lower me down with a quick sad goodbye
Pour in the black Texas mud
Pour in the black Texas mud
It's a hard road you're travelin', you can't walk it alone
The big man to stand beside you
Take him down to the river, show him my bones
There lies a friend I once knew
There lies a friend I once knew
Black crow's a-screaming, the yellow sun's warm
And the grass tumbles tall down the hill
There's a cold wind blowing, it's bringin' storm
When the call of the black crow goes still
Black crow goes still
