Black Crow King Lyrics - Cave Nick

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 hook---a 

spread eagle like 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 the 

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.
