Somewhere on a lonely, muddy country road
I heard your song, crow, for the first time
Somewhere in the distance, wicked, black and low
Made me feel, as I was running from a crime
Made me feel, as I was running from a crime
Some say she died of drowning in a river deep
Some say she died of a sudden start
Some say they found her swinging from my old man's tree
And some folks say she died of a broken heart
And some folks say she died of a broken heart
I can't believe they would pay men just to hunt me down
But silver coins to each one do they give
By now there's a gallows standing in the town
And I wonder, how much more I have to live
And I wonder, how much more I have to live
Oh, somewhere on a lonely, muddy country road
I heard your song, crow, for the last time
Somewhere in the distance, wicked, black and low
Made me feel, as I was running from a crime
Made me feel, as I was running from a crime
Made me feel, as I was running - from a crime
