The Crow on The Cradle — текст песни (Mary Black)

The sheeps in the meadow

The cows in the corn

Now is the time for a child to be born

Youll laugh at the moon and youll cry for the sun

And if its a boy hell carry a gun

Sang the crow on the cradle



And if it should be that this babys a girl

Never you mind if her hair doesnt curl

With rings on her fingers dna bells on her toes

A shadow above her wherever she goes

Sang the crow on the cradle



The crow on the cradle

The black on the white

Somebodys baby is born for a fight

The crow on the cradle

The white on the black

Somebodys baby is not coming back

Sang the crow on the cradle



Bring me my gun and Ill shoot

That bird dead

Thats what your mother and

Father once said

A crow on the cradle what can we do

This is the thing I must leave up to you

Sang the crow on the cradle
