From the recording Carry On
Lyrics
Old Crow, old crow – you’re the devil with no soul
And you take what you don’t own, and I want it back – old crow
Where’d you get those pretty shiny things?
What do you have hiding underneath those wings?
What’s a bird to do with treasures fine?
Can they feed your babies? Ease your troubled mind?
Old Crow, old crow – you’re the devil with no soul
And you take what you don’t own, and I want it back – old crow
Where’d you get that nest you’re sleeping in?
I can tell you’re lying, I can feel your sin.
Do you think there’s room for you in hell?
Cause I heard you laughing when the sparrow fell
Old Crow, old crow – you’re the devil with no soul
And you take what you don’t own, and I want it back – old crow
For lovers that are gone for good, leaving hearts misunderstood,
Half empty bottles and half empty beds
For stealing bread and daily cup eating all my crops up,
This time you’ll be the one to fall instead
My sling and stone will make sure you are dead
Old Crow, old crow – you’re the devil with no soul
And you take what you don’t own, and I want it back – old crow
