[00:05.000]The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn
[00:11.000]Now is the time for a child to be born
[00:18.000]He'll cry for the moon and laugh at the sun
[00:24.000]If he's a boy, he'll carry a gun
[00:27.000]Sang the crow on the cradle
[00:34.000]If it should happen that our baby's a girl
[00:38.000]Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
[00:43.000]Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
[00:49.000]And a bomber above her wherever she goes
[00:53.000]Sang the crow on the cradle
[01:01.000]Rockabye baby the dark and the light
[01:06.000]Somebody's baby is born for a fight
[01:11.000]Rockaby baby, the white and the black
[01:16.000]Somebody's baby is not coming back
[01:20.000]Sang the crow on the cradle
[01:26.000]Your mammy and pappy, they'll scrape and they'll save
[01:31.000]Build you a coffin and dig you a grave
[01:37.000]Hushaby little one, why do you weep
[01:42.000]We've got a toy that will put you to sleep
[01:47.000]Sang the crow on the cradle
[01:53.000]Bring me a gun and I'll shoot that bird dead
[01:59.000]That's what your mammy and pappy once said
[02:05.000]Crow on the cradle, oh what should I do
[02:11.000]That is a thing that I leave to you
[02:17.000]Sang the crow on the cradle

The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn
Now is the time for a child to be born
He'll cry for the moon and laugh at the sun
If he's a boy, he'll carry a gun
Sang the crow on the cradle
If it should happen that our baby's a girl
Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
And a bomber above her wherever she goes
Sang the crow on the cradle
Rockabye baby the dark and the light
Somebody's baby is born for a fight
Rockaby baby, the white and the black
Somebody's baby is not coming back
Sang the crow on the cradle
Your mammy and pappy, they'll scrape and they'll save
Build you a coffin and dig you a grave
Hushaby little one, why do you weep
We've got 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 mammy and pappy once said
Crow on the cradle, oh what should I do
That is a thing that I leave to you
Sang the crow on the cradle
