Crow Jane Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

Crow Jane, Crow Jane 

Crow Jane, Crow Jane 

Crow Jane, ah hah huh 

Well, horrors in her head 

That her tongue dare not name 

She lives 'lone by the river 

The rolling rivers of pain 

Crow Jane, Crow Jane 

Crow Jane, ah hah huh 

There is one shining eye on a hard-hat 

The company closed down the mine 

Winking on the waters they came 

Well, twenty hard-hats and twenty eyes 

And in her clapboard shack, man 

Only six foot by five 

Oh well, they killed all her whiskey 

And poured their pistols dry 

Crow Jane, Crow Jane 

Crow Jane, ah hah huh 

Seems you've remembered 

How to sleep, how to sleep 

Your house dogs are in the turnips 

And your yard dogs are running all over the street 

Crow Jane, Crow Jane 

Ah, Crow Jane, ah hah huh 

"O Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson 

Oh, why you close up shop so late?" 

With just fitted out a girl who looked like a bird 

Measured .32, .44, .38 

I asked that girl which road she was taking 

She said she's walking the road of hate 

But she hopped on a coal-trolley up to the New Town 

Of population, 48 

Crow Jane, Crow Jane 

Crow Jane, ah hah huh 

Your guns are drunk and smoking 

They've followed you right back to your gate 

Laughing all the way home from the New Town 

Of population, now 28 

Crow Jane, Crow Jane 

Ah, Crow Jane, ah hah huh 

Ah hah huh, ah hah huh 

Ah hah huh, ah hah huh, ah hah huh
