Skip James - Crow Jane lyrics

Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane, don't you hold your head high Someday, Baby, you know you got to die You got to lay down, and, you got to die, you got to And I want to buy me a pistol, "wolf me forty rounds of ball" Shoot Crow Jane just to see her fall She got to fall, she got to, she got to fall, she got to "You know I begged Crow Jane, not to hold her head too high Someday, Baby, you know you got to die You got to lay down, and, you got to die, you got to" And I dug her a grave, with a silver spade Ain't nobody going to take my Crow Jane's place No you can't take her, no you can't take her "You know I begged Crow Jane, not to hold her head too high Someday, Baby, you know you got to die You got to lay down, and, you got to die, you got to" You know I let her down, with a golden chain And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name Crow Jane, Crow, Crow Jane, Crow You know I never missin' my water, til my well ran dry Didn't miss Crow jane until the day she died Til the day,she, til the day, she "You know I begged Crow Jane, not to hold her head too high Someday, Baby, you know you got to die You got to lay down, and, you got to die, you got to" You know I dug her grave, eight feet in the ground Didn't feel sorry til they let her down They had to let her down, they had to let her down "You know I begged Crow Jane, not to hold her head too high Someday, Baby, you know you got to die You got to lay down, and, you got to die, you got to"
