Somewhere on a lonely muddy country road I heard your song, crow, for the first time Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low Made me feel as I was running from a crime Made me feel as I was running from a crime Some say she died of drowning in the river deep Some say she died of a sudden start Some say they found her swinging from my old man's tree And some folks say she died of a broken heart And some folks say she died of a broken heart I can't believe they would pay men just to hunt me down But silver coins to each one do they give
And by now there's a gallows standing in the town And I wonder how much more I have to live And I wonder how much more I have to live Somewhere on a lonely muddy country road I heard your song, crow, for the last time Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low Made me feel as I was running from a crime Made me feel as I was running from a crime Made me feel as I was running from a crime
