Old Black Crow

cold cold river

cold cold ground

I'm gonna lay this body down

but I can't stay

no I've gotta go

I'm gonna fly away with that old black crow

old black crow

old black crow

I'm gonna fly away with that old black crow

I've got rye whiskey

& cold ice cream

I've got all that I need

but I can't stay

no I've gotta go

I'm gonna soar away with that old black crow

old black crow

old black crow

I'm gonna soar away with that old black crow

these nights are long

cold & dark

but there's a sliver of moon & so many stars

to guide my way

andiamo

let's go old black crow

old black crow

old black crow

let's go old black crow

hey blue sky

I won't forget

it is what it is

you get what you get

& that's just fine

it's the way things go

I'm gonna fly away with that old black crow

old black crow

old black crow

I'm gonna fly away with that old black crow
