Black Crow King |
Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm |
I am the black crow king |
Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm |
I am the black crow king |
Keeper of the nodding corn |
Bam! |
Bam! |
Bam! |
Bam! |
All the hammers are a-talking |
All the nails are a-singing |
So sweet and low |
You can hear it in the valley |
Where live the lame and the blind |
They climb the hill out of its belly |
They leave with mean black boots on I just made a simple gesture |
They jumped up and nailed it to my shadow |
My gesture was a hooker |
You know, my shadow’s made of timber. |
And the storm is a-rolling |
And the storm is a-rolling |
All down on me And I’m still here rolling after everybody’s gone |
And I’m still here rolling after everybody’s gone |
Ah’m still here rolling and I’m left on my own |
The blackbirds have all gone! |
Everyone’s rolled on! |
I am the black crow king |
Keeper of the trodden corn |
I am the king |
Won’t say it again |
And the rain, it raineth daily |
Lord |
And wash away my clothes |
I surrender up my arms |
To a company of crows |
I am the black crow king |
I won’t say it again |
And all the thorns are a-crowning |
King ruby on each spine |
And the spears are a-sailing |
O my o my And the storm is a-rolling |
And the storm is a-rolling |
All down on me And I’m still here rolling after everybody’s gone |
And I’m still here rolling after everybody’s gone |
I’m still here rolling and left on my own |
Those blackbirds they have all flown and |
I am on my own |
I am the black crow king |
Keeper of the forgotten corn |
The King! |
The King! |
I’m the king of nuthin’at all |
The hammers are a-talking |
The nails are a-singing |
The thorns are a-crowning him |
The spears are a-sailing |
The crows are a-mocking |
The corn is a-nodding |
The storm is a-rolling |
The storm is a-rolling |
The storm is a-rolling down |
The storm is a-rolling down |
The storm is a-rolling |
Down on me Rolling down on me Rolling down on me |
