Black Crow King lyrics

 Black Crow King



 *****************



 



 



 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 gone!



 Everyone's rolled on!



 



 



 I am the black crow king



 Keeper of the trodden corn



 I am the 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
