Verse 1
Oh babe, don't lie lonesome
after I'm gone
Don't mourn your young life away
Just lower me down with a prayer
and a song
Just 'fore the breaking of day
Just 'fore the breaking of day
Verse 2
Well, it's a life worth the
living but we all gotta die
All your crying can't do me no
good
Just lower me down with a quick
sad goodbye
Pour in the black Texas mud
Pour in the black Texas mud
Verse 3
It's a hard road you're
travelin', you can't walk it
alone
Find a big man to stand beside
you
Take him down to the river and
show him my bones
Tell him there lies a friend I
once knew
There lies a friend I once knew
Verse 4
Well, the black crow's
a-screaming, the yellow sun's
warm
And the grass tumbles tall down
the hill
But there's a cold wind
building, it's bringin' a storm
When the call of the black crow
goes still
When the call of the black crow
goes still
