Black Crow
Where are you going black crow?
Where are you going black crow?
I'm flying out to find me an unfortunate soul
I've a message to deliver to him
I threw an old penny down a well
I watched as it forever fell
It landed in the collection plate of the devil down in hell
I said, That's all you'll ever get from me, sir.
Oh hangman where do you go?
Hangman now where do you go?
I'm following the footsteps
Of that old black crow
To find me an unfortunate soul
I slept in an old blanket down a ditch
Slept in an old blanket down a ditch
The night it got inside
It was hot and black as pitch
My clothes they held nary a stitch
Tell me, fair woman, why you lied
Tell me, fair woman, why you lied
I did no harm to no one and still you testified
I was only looking for some charity
Oh hangman where do you go?
Hangman now where do you go?
I'm following the footsteps
Of that old black crow
To find me an unfortunate soul
Black crow, now why have you come back?
Black crow, now why have you come back?
I found what I was looking for, alas and alack
My message is for you
And the hangman is coming up the track
