The 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 laugh at the moon |
| And 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 |
| And bells on her toes |
| And a bomber above her wherever she goes |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
| The crow on the cradle |
| The black and the white |
| Somebody’s baby is born for a fight |
| The crow on the cradle |
| The white and the black |
| Somebody’s baby is not coming back |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
| Your mother and father will sweat and they’ll save |
| To build you a coffin and dig you a grave |
| Hush-a-bye little one, never you weep |
| For we’ve got a toy that can put you to sleep |
| 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 |
| The crow on the cradle, what can we do Ah, this is a thing that I’ll leave up to you |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
| Sang the crow on the cradle |
