Nick Cave - Crow Jane Lyrics
Crow jane crow jane crow janeHorrors in her headThat her tongue dare not nameShe lives alone by the riverThe rolling rivers of painCrow jane crow janeCrow jane ah hah huhThere is one shining eye on a hard-hatThe company closed down the mineWinking on waters they cameTwenty hard-hats, twenty eyesIn her clapboard shackOnly six foot by fiveThey killed all her whiskeyAnd poured their pistols dryCrow jane crow janeCrow jane ah hah huhSeems youve rememberedHow to sleep, how to sleepThe house dogs are in your turnipsAnd your yard dogs are running all over the streetCrow jane crow janeCrow jane ah hah huhO mr. smith and mr. wessonWhy you close up shop so late?Just fitted out a girl who looked like a birdMeasured .32, .44, .38I asked that girl which road she was takingSaid she was walking the road of hateBut she stopped on a coal-trolley up to new havenPopulation: 48Crow jane crow janeCrow jane ah hah huhYour guns are drunk and smokingTheyve followed you right back to your gateLaughing all the way back from the new townPopulation, now, 28Crow jane crow janeCrow jane ah hah huh
