Crow Jane (Remaster) - Skip James
Crow Janie Crow Janie Crow Janie
Don't you hold your head high
Someday baby you know you got to die
You got to lay down you got to die you got to
You know I wanna buy me a pistol
Wants me forty rounds of ball
Shoot Crow Janie just to see her fall
She got to fall she got to
She got to fall she got to
That's the reason I begged Crow Janie
Not to hold her head so high
Someday baby you know you got to die
You got to lay down
When I dug her grave with a silver spade
Ain't nobody gone take my Crow Janie place
You can't take her place no you can't take her
That's the reason I begged Crow Janie
Not to hold her head too high
Someday baby you know you got to die
You got to lay down an
You know I let her down
With a golden chain
An every link I would call my Crow Janie name
Crow Janie Crow Crow Janie Crow
You know I never missed my water
Till my well went dry
Didn't miss Crow Janie until the day she died
Till the day-ay-ay-ay she
That's the reason I begged Crow Janie
Not to hold her head too high
Someday baby you know you got to die
You got to lay down and
You got to die you got to
You know I dug her grave
Eight feet in the ground
Didn't feel sorry until they let her down
They had to let her down had-a
They had to let her down
That's the reason I begged Crow Janie
Not to hold her head too high
Someday baby you know you got to die
You got to lay down and
