Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane, don't you hold you head high
|
Someday, baby, you know you got to die
|
You got to lay down and...
|
You got to die, you got to...
|
|
And I wanna buy me a pistol, wants me forty rounds of ball
|
Shoot Crow Jane, just to see her fall
|
She got to fall, she got to...
|
She got to fall, she got to...
|
|
That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head so high
|
Someday, baby, you know you got to die
|
You got to lay down and...
|
|
And I dug her grave with s silver spade
|
Ain't nobody gonna take my Crow Jane place
|
You can't take her place no, you can't take her...
|
|
You know, I dug her grave eight feet in the ground
|
I didn't feel sorry until they let her down
|
They had to let her down, let her...they had to let her down...
|
|
That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head too high
|
Someday, baby, you know you got to die
|
You got to lay down and...
|
|
You know, I let her down with a golden chain
|
And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name
|
Crow Jane, Crow... Crow Jane, Crow...
|
|
You know I never missed my water till my well went dry
|
Didn't miss Crow Jane until the day she died
|
Till the day she...
|
|
That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head too high
|
Someday, baby, you know you got to die
|
You got to lay down and...you got to die, you got to...
|
|
That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head too high
|
Someday, baby, you know you got to die
|
You got to lay down and...
