Crow Jane, Crow Jane
Don't you hold your head so high
Someday baby, you know
You got to die

You know, I’, gonna buy me a pistol
And forty rounds of ball
Shoot Crow Jane, just to see her fall

That's the reason I begged, Crow Jane
Not to hold her head, so high
Someday baby, you know
You got to die

When I dug her a grave
With a silver spade
Ain't nobody gon' take
My Crow Jane place

That's the reason I begged, Crow Jane
Not to hold her head, too high
Someday baby, you know
You got to die

You know, I let her down
With a golden chain
An ev'ry link
I would call my, Crow Jane name

You know I never missed my water
'Till my well went dry
Didn't miss Crow Jane
Until the day she died

You know, I dug her grave
Eight feet in the ground
Didn't feel sorry
Until they let her down

That's the reason I begged, Crow Jane
Not to hold her head, too high
Someday baby, you know you got to die

1. Crow Jane
(Skip James) Good old acoustic white man blues! I wanted this to be the opening track for cd 4. -- Jore

One of many great blues songs written by Skip James - check out the original which is much better than this - or find it on You Tube where he plays it at The Newport Folk Festival in 1964 or 1965 - awesome! -- Davy
