Kate McCannon |
| Well the raven is a wicked bird |
| His wings are black as sin |
| And he floats outside my prison window |
| 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 mines |
| Said he had himself a dark haired daughter |
| With long, green eyes |
| 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 a courtin' Kate McCannon |
| Got me a job and I quit my ramblin' |
| And every day I’d save |
| A quarter of my pay |
| I could buy a diamond ring |
| Lord and one day I come home to find |
| My darlin' angel’s not inside |
| So I made for the creek |
| Where she and I did meet |
| And found her with some other lover |
| And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon |
