Cave Nick Black Crow King Lyrics

Black Crow King Lyrics

Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm
I am the black crow king
Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm
I am the
black crow king
Keeper of the nodding corn
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
All the
hammers are a-talking
All the nails are a-singing
So sweet and low.
You
can hear it in the valley
Where live the lame and the blind
They climb the
hill out of its belly
They leave with mean black boots on.
"I just made a
simple gesture
They jumped up and nailed it to my shadow
My gesture was a
hooker
You know, my shadow's made of timber."
And the storm is
a-rolling
And the storm is a-rolling
All down on me.
And I'm still
here rolling after everybody's gone
And I'm still here rolling after
everybody's gone
Ah'm still here rolling and I'm left on my own
The
blackbirds have all flown!
Everyone's rolled on!
I am the black crow
king
Keeper of the trodden corn
I am the black crow king
Won't say it
again
And the rain it raineth daily.
Lord
And wash away my
clothes
I surrender up my arms
To a company of crows
I am the black
crow king
I won't say it again
And all the thorns are a-crowning
King
ruby on each spine
And the spears are a-sailing
O my o my.
And the
storm is a-rolling
And the storm is a-rolling
All down on me.
And I'm
still here rolling after everybody's gone
And I'm still here rolling after
everybody's gone
I'm still here rolling and left on my own
Those
blackbirds they have all flown and
I am on my own.
I am the black crow
king
Keeper of the forgotten corn
The King! The King!
I'm the king of
nuthin' at all
The hammers are a-talking
The nails are a-singing
The
thorns are a-crowning him
The spears are a-sailing
The crows are
a-mocking
The corn is a-nodding
The storm is a-rolling
The storm is
a-rolling
The storm is a-rolling down
The storm is a-rolling down
The
storm is a-rolling
Down on me
Rolling down on me
Rolling down on me.
