Flying Crow Blues Lyrics - Washboard Sam

Yas, yas, yas 

Flyin' Crow, leave Port Arthur 

Come to Shreveport to change her crew 

Flyin' Crow leave, Port Arthur 

Come to Shreveport to change her crew 

She will take water at Texarkana 

Yes, boys then keep on through 

That Flyin' Crow, whistle 

Sounds so lonesome and sad 

That Flyin' Crow, whistle 

Sounds so lonesome and sad 

Lord, it broke my heart 

And took the last woman I had 

(Texas way!) 

Two days, I cried 

Three days, I walked the streets 

(These women!) 

Two days, I cried 

Three days, I walked the streets 

I couldn't find nobody 

To give my po' heart relief 

'Beat it out, boy!' 

(guitar & instrumental) 

Yeah, yas, yas 

Now, she's gone, she is gone 

With a red and green light behind 

Now she's gone, she is gone 

With a red and green light behind 

The red is for trouble 

And the green is for my ramblin' mind.
