townes van zandt - black crow blues lyrics
babe, don’t lie lonesome after i’m gone
don’t mourn your young life away
just lower me down with a prayer and a song
just ‘fore the breaking of day
just ‘fore the breaking of day
it’s a life with the living, but we all gotta die
all your crying can’t do me no good
lower me down with a quick said goodbye
pour in the black texas mud
pour in the black texas mud
it’s a hard road you’re traveling, you can’t walk it alone
find a big man to stand beside you
take him down to he river and show him my bones
tell him there lies a friend i once knew
there lies a friend i once knew
the black crow’s a-screaming, the yellow sun’s warm
the gr-ss tumbles tall down the hill
there’s a cold wind is building, it’s bringin’ a storm
when the call of the black crow goes still
when the call of the black crow goes still
