Crow on the Cradle |
| The sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn |
| Now is the time for a child to be born |
| He’ll cry for the moon, he’ll laugh at the sun |
| If he’s a boy he’ll carry a gun |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
| If it should be that our baby’s a girl |
| Never ye mind if her hair doesn’t curl |
| With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes |
| And a bomber above her wherever she goes |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
| Rockabye baby, the dark and the light |
| Somebody’s baby is born for a fight |
| Rockabye baby, the white and the black |
| Somebody’s baby is not coming back |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
| You’re mama and papa, they’ll scrimp and they’ll save |
| Build you a coffin and dig you a grave |
| Hushabye little one, why do you weep? |
| We’ve got a toy that’ll put you to sleep |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
| Bring me a gun and I’ll shoot that bird dead |
| That’s what your mama and papa once said |
| Crow on the cradle, oh what shall I do? |
| That is a thing that I leave up to you |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
