Crow Jane Lyrics - Murder Ballads - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Crow Jane; Crow Jane; 

Crow Jane; Crow Jane; 

Crow Jane, ah-hah-huh 

What 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

There is one shining eye on a hard-hat 

The company closed down the mine 

Winking on the waters they came 

Were twenty hard-hats and twenty eyes 

In her clapboard shack — bare, 

Only six foot by five 

Ah well they killed a little whiskey here 

And poured their pistols dry 

Crow Jane; Crow Jane; 

Crow 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 

Why you close up shop so late? 

We just fitted out a girl who looked like a bird 

Measured .32, .44, .38 

I asked the girl which road she was taking 

She said she's walking the road of hate 

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

Population: 48 

Crow Jane; Crow Jane; 

Crow Crow Jane, ah-hah-huh 

Your guns are drunk and smokin' 

They followed you right back to your gate 

Laughing all the way home from the new town 

Population, now: 28 

Crow Jane; Crow Jane; 

Ah, Crow Jane, ah-hah-huh
