Crow on the Cradle (Remaster) - Judy Collins
Written by：Sidney Lee Carter
The sheep's in the meadow
The cow's in the corn
Now is the time for a child to be born
You'll laugh at the moon and you'll cry for the
Sun and if it's a boy he'll carry a gun
Sang the crow on the cradle
And if it should be that this baby is a
Girl never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
A shadow above her wherever she goes
Sang the crow on the cradle
The crow boy baby
The toy count the white
Somebody's baby is born for a fight
The crow boy baby
The white on the black
Somebody's baby is not coming back
Sang the crow on the cradle
Your mother and father they'll scrap and they'll save
Build you a coffin and dig you a grave
Hush a bye little one why do you weep
We have a toy that will put you to sleep
Sang the crow on the cradle
Bring me a gun and I'll shoot that bird dead
That's what your father and mother once said
Crow on the cradle what shall I do
That is the thing I'll leave up to you
Sang the crow on the cradle
