The Crow On The Cradle Lyrics - Mary Black

The sheep's in the meadow 

The cow's in the corn 

Now is the time for a child to be born 

You'll laugh at the moon and you'll cry for the sun 

And if it's a boy he'll carry a gun 

Sang the crow on the cradle 

And if it should be that this baby is a girl 

Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl 

With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes 

A shadow above her wherever she goes 

Sang the crow on the cradle

The crow on the cradle 

The black on the white 

Somebody's baby, is born for a fight 

The crow on the cradle 

The white on the black 

Somebody's baby is not coming back 

Sang the crow on the cradle 

Sang the crow on the cradle
