Lyrics:

Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane, Don't You Hold Your Head High,
someday, Baby, You Know You Got To Die.
you Got To Lay Down, And. . ., You Got To Die, You Got To. . .

and I Want To Buy Me A Pistol, 'wolf Me Forty Rounds Of Ball',
shoot Crow Jane Just To See Her Fall.
she Got To Fall, She Got To. . ., She Got To Fall, She Got To. . .,

-Refrain-
'you Know I Begged Crow Jane, 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. . .'

and I Dug Her A Grave, With A Silver Spade,
ain't Nobody Going To Take My Crow Jane's Place.
no You Can't Take Her, . . . No You Can't Take Her. . .

-Refrain-

you Know I Let Her Down, With A Golden Chain,
and Every Link I Would Call My Crow Jane's Name.
crow Jane, . . .crow, . . . Crow Jane, . . .crow

you Know I Never Missin' My Water, Til My Well Ran Dry,
didn't Miss Crow Jane Until The Day She Died.
til The Day,she, . . . Til The Day, She, . . .

-Refrain-

you Know I Dug Her Grave, Eight Feet In The Ground,
didn't Feel Sorry Til They Let Her Down.
they Had, . . . To Let Her Down, They Had, . . . To Let Her Down,

-Refrain-
