King Crow
Young man seen a big fat crow sittin' on the wire Squawking his head off preaching to the choir Of all manner of bird there sittin' on the ground Inciting them to raise such an awful sound He wwent under his bed, pulled out his old .22 Raised the sights to his eye and shot a hole clean through That jet black beast, watched him fall to the ground Those other birds scattered, started circling around Yous ee that big black bird up sitting on the wire Don't you shoot him down don't you curse his cry Just look for that crown made of dead men's bones And you'll know that big old bastard Is King Crow He's King Crow Well those birds all a circling and swooping around Filling the air with that awful sound He walked otu to get that bird for to make crow pie But to his surprise, that bird did cry He called out, in the words of a man He said, 'come close before I die boy, I'll tell you the plan You see, I was the king but my death breaks the curse Now you must take my place and lead these birds' You see that big black bird sitting up on the wire Don't you shoot him down don't you curse his cry Just look for that crown made of dead men's bones And you'll know that big old bastard Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Is King Crow He's King Crow As the bird breathed his last breath on this earth He passed off his crown and the power it was worth The boy looked down as his arms, they turned to wings With that crown on his head he became the new king He gave a terrible screech from a break fresh-formed Those other birds flew above in a hellish swarm He spread his wings and off they did fly If you see him on the wind won't you listen to his cry You see that big black bird up sitting on the wire Don't you shoot him down don't you curse his cry Just look for that crown made of dead men's bones And you'll know that big old bastard Is King Crow He's King Crow Well he's the king of thieves He is the king of lairs He will steal your baby And throw it in a fire He's a bitter old king Who lost it all So don't shoot him down Because now you know the cost
