  well now crow jane don't make no sense to me,
  left me hangin' from the papa tree,
  no i've never ever felt so free,
  look here mama what you're doing to me,
  cause it ain't no difference which way i smile,
  i ain't good lookin' from a quarter mile,
  once had a woman called me "angel child",
  reputation keeps me on track,
  
  but who's gonna save me from myself,
  gotta lay the blame on someone else,
  somehow i ain't got no hope,
  cause im still running from the sheriffs rope,
  my shoes don't fit me cause they feel they don't
  crow jane quit me and i just cant cope
  all i know is that i still run
  i pledge allegiance to the settin' sun
  i must of lost cause crow jane
  i never learned from anything i've done

  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 ı 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 ı 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 ı 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 ı begged crow jane
  not to hold her head too high
  someday, baby, you know you got to v
  you got to lay down and you got to die, you got to"
  
  you know ı let her down with a golden chain
  and every link ı would call my crow jane's name
  crow jane, crow, crow jane, crow
  
  you know ı 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 ı 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 ı 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 ı 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"
