crow janie, crow janie, crow jane
don’t you hold your head high
someday baby, you know
you got to die
you got to lay down an –
you got to die, you got to –

you know, i wanna buy me a pistol
wants me forty rounds of ball
shoot crow jane, just to see her fall
she got to fall, she got to –
she got to fall, she got to-

that’s the reason i begged, crow jane
not to hold her head, so high
someday baby, you know
you got to die
you got to lay down an –

when i dug her grave
with a silver spade
ain’t n-body gon’ take
my crow jane place
you can’t take her place
no, you can’t take her –

that’s the reason i begged, crow jane
not to hold her head, too high
someday baby, you know
you got to die
you got to lay down an –

you know, i let her down
with a golden chain
an ev’ry link
i would call my, crow jane name
crow jane, crow –
crow jane, crow –

you know i never missed my water
’till my well went dry
didn’t miss crow jane
until the day she died
’till the day-ay-ay-ay she –

that’s the reason i begged, crow jane
not to hold her head, too high
someday baby, you know you got to die
you got to lay down and –
you got to die, you got to –

you know, i dug her grave
eight feet in the ground
didn’t feel sorry
until they let her down

they had to let her down
had-a –
they had to let her down

that’s the reason i begged, crow jane
not to hold her head, too high
someday baby, you know you got to die
you got to lay down and. –

(guitar to end)
