[Intro]
Am Am F C G
Am Dm Am
[Verse 1]
Am
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn
F C G Am
now is the time, for a child to be born
Am Em
he'll laugh at the moon and cry for the sun
F C G Am
and if it's a boy, he'll carry a gun
Dm Am
sang the crow, on the cradle
[Verse 2]
Am
and if it should be that this baby's a girl
F C G Am
never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
Am Em
with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
F C G Am
and a bomber above her wherever she goes
Dm Am
sang the crow, on the cradle
[Verse 3]
Am
the crow on the cradle, the black and the white
F C G Am
somebody's baby, is born for a fight
Am Em
the crow on the cradle, the white and the black
F C G Am
somebody's baby, is not coming back
Dm Am
sang the crow, on the cradle
[Instrumental]
Am Am F C G
Am Em F C G Am Dm Am
[Verse 4]
Am
your mother and father will sweat and they'll slave
F C G Am
to build you a coffin and dig you a grave
Am Em
hush-a-bye little one, never you weep
F C G Am
for we've got a toy that can put you to sleep
Dm Am
sang the crow on the cradle
[Verse 5]
Am
bring me my gun, and I'll shoot that bird dead
F C G Am
that's what your mother and father once said
Am Em
the crow on the cradle, what can we do
F C G Am
Ah, this is a thing that I'll leave up to you
Dm Am Em
sang the crow on the cradle
F C G Am
this is a thing, that I'll leave up to you
Dm Am
sang the crow on the cradle
