Crow Jane Lyrics - Singles - Skip James

Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane 

Don't you hold your head high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and you got to die, you got to 

And I want to buy me a pistol 

"Wolf me forty rounds of ball" 

Shoot Crow Jane just to see her fall 

She got to fall, she got to, she got to fall, she got to 

"You know I begged Crow Jane 

Not to hold her head too high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and you got to die, you got to" 

And I dug her a grave with a silver spade 

Ain't nobody going to take my Crow Jane's place 

No, you can't take her, no, you can't take her 

"You know I begged Crow Jane 

Not to hold her head too high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to v 

You got to lay down and you got to die, you got to" 

You know I let her down with a golden chain 

And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name 

Crow Jane, Crow, Crow Jane, Crow 

You know I never missin' my water til my well ran dry 

Didn't miss Crow Jane until the day she died 

Til the day she, til the day she 

"You know I begged Crow Jane 

Not to hold her head too high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and you got to die, you got to" 

You know I dug her grave eight feet in the ground 

Didn't feel sorry til they let her down 

They had to let her down, they had to let her down 

"You know I begged Crow Jane 

Not to hold her head too high 

Someday, baby, you know you got to die 

You got to lay down and you got to die, you got to"
