| [00:05.000] |
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn |
| [00:11.000] |
Now is the time for a child to be born |
| [00:18.000] |
He'll cry for the moon and laugh at the sun |
| [00:24.000] |
If he's a boy, he'll carry a gun |
| [00:27.000] |
Sang the crow on the cradle |
| [00:34.000] |
If it should happen that our baby's a girl |
| [00:38.000] |
Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl |
| [00:43.000] |
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes |
| [00:49.000] |
And a bomber above her wherever she goes |
| [00:53.000] |
Sang the crow on the cradle |
| [01:01.000] |
Rockabye baby the dark and the light |
| [01:06.000] |
Somebody's baby is born for a fight |
| [01:11.000] |
Rockaby baby, the white and the black |
| [01:16.000] |
Somebody's baby is not coming back |
| [01:20.000] |
Sang the crow on the cradle |
| [01:26.000] |
Your mammy and pappy, they'll scrape and they'll save |
| [01:31.000] |
Build you a coffin and dig you a grave |
| [01:37.000] |
Hushaby little one, why do you weep |
| [01:42.000] |
We've got a toy that will put you to sleep |
| [01:47.000] |
Sang the crow on the cradle |
| [01:53.000] |
Bring me a gun and I'll shoot that bird dead |
| [01:59.000] |
That's what your mammy and pappy once said |
| [02:05.000] |
Crow on the cradle, oh what should I do |
| [02:11.000] |
That is a thing that I leave to you |
| [02:17.000] |
Sang the crow on the cradle |
