Big Bill Broonzy - Crow Jane lyrics

rate me

Crow Jane, Crow Jane, don't hold your head so high,

'cause someday baby, you got to lay down and die

I dug her grave with a silver spade,

ain't nobody gonna take my Crow Jane's place

You know I let her down with a golden chain,

and every link I would call my Crow Jane's name

I never missed my water till my well runs dry,

didn't miss Crow Jane until the day she died

Crow Jane, Crow Jane, what makes you hold your head so high,

someday, baby, you're gonna lay down and die
