The Crow On The Cradle

by Sydney Carter

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 he'll laugh at the sun

If he's a boy he'll carry a gun

Sang the crow on the cradle

And if it should be that this 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

Rockaby 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

Hush a bye 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 my gun and I'll shoot that bird dead

That's what your mammy and pappy once said

Crow on the cradle what should I do

That is a thing that I leave up to you

Sang the crow on the cradle
