The sheep's in the meadow
|
The cow's in the corn
|
Now is the time for a child to be born
|
You'll laugh at the moon and you'll cry for the sun
|
And if it's a boy he'll carry a gun
|
Sang the crow on the cradle
|
|
And if it should be that this baby's a girl
|
Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
|
With rings on her fingers DNA bells on her toes
|
A shadow above her wherever she goes
|
Sang the crow on the cradle
|
|
The crow on the cradle
|
The black on the white
|
Somebody's baby is born for a fight
|
The crow on the cradle
|
The white on the black
|
Somebody's baby is not coming back
|
Sang the crow on the cradle
|
|
Bring me my gun and I'll shoot
|
that bird dead
|
That's what your mother and
|
father once said
|
A crow on the cradle what can we do
|
This is the thing I must leave up to you
|
Sang the crow on the cradle
|
