Crow Jane Lyrics by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

Crow Jane Lyrics

    Crow jane crow jane
    Crow jane
    Horrors in her head
    That her tongue dare not name
    She lives alone by the river
    The rolling rivers of pain
    Crow jane crow jane
    Crow jane ah hah huh

    There is one shining eye on a hard-hat
    The company closed down the mine
    Winking on waters they came
    Twenty hard-hats, twenty eyes
    In her clapboard shack
    Only six foot by five
    They killed all her whiskey
    And poured their pistols dry
    Crow jane crow jane
    Crow jane ah hah huh

    Seems you've remembered
    How to sleep, how to sleep
    The house dogs are in your turnips
    And your yard dogs are running all over the street
    Crow jane crow jane
    Crow jane ah hah huh

    "o mr. smith and mr. wesson
    Why you close up shop so late?"
    "just fitted out a girl who looked like a bird
    Measured .32, .44, .38
    I asked that girl which road she was taking
    Said she was walking the road of hate
    But she stopped on a coal-trolley up to new haven
    Population: 48"
    Crow jane crow jane
    Crow jane ah hah huh

    Your guns are drunk and smoking
    They've followed you right back to your gate
    Laughing all the way back from the new town
    Population, now, 28
    Crow jane crow jane
    Crow jane ah hah huh
