Kate McCannon

Well the raven is a wicked bird, it's wings are black as sin And he floats outside my prison windows, 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 mud Said he had himself a dark haired daughter, long green eyes And 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 courting Kate McCannon Got me a job and quit my rambling Everyday I just save, a quarter of my pay I can buy a diamond ring One day I come home to find My darling angel is not inside So I made for the creek, where she and I did meet Found her with some another lover And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
