Black Crow Blues

Babe, don't lie lonesome after I'm gone Don't mourn your young life away Just bury me low with a prayer and a song Just for the breaking of day Before the breaking of day Well, it's a life worth the living but we all gotta die All your crying won't do me no good Just lower me down with a quick sad goodbye Pour in the black Texas mud Pour in the black Texas mud It's a hard road you're travelin', you can't walk it alone The big man to stand beside you Take him down to the river, show him my bones There lies a friend I once knew There lies a friend I once knew Black crow's a-screaming, the yellow sun's warm And the grass tumbles tall down the hill There's a cold wind blowing, it's bringin' storm When the call of the black crow goes still Black crow goes still
