1
Plugged sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six
2
And the Black Crow snuck through a hole in the sky
3
So I spent all my buttons on an old pack mule
4
And I made me a ladder from a pawnshop marimba
5
And I leaned up against a dandelion tree
6
Leaned up against a dandelion tree
7
Leaned up against a dandelion tree
8
I'm gonna cook them feathers on a tiny spit
9
And I filled me a sachel full of old pig corn
10
And I beat me a billy from an old French horn
11
And I kicked that mule to the top of the tree
12
Kicked that mule to the top of the tree
13
Blew me a hole 'bout the size of a kickdrum
14
And I cut me a switch from a long branch elbow
15
I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin'
16
Black Crow, sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six
17
Whittle you into kindlin'
18
Black Crow sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six
19
Well, I slept in the holler of a dry creek bed
20
And I tore out the buckets from a red Corvette
21
Tore out the buckets from a red Corvette
22
Lionel and Dave and the Butcher made three
23
Well, you got to meet me by the knuckles of the skinnybone tree
24
With the strings of a Washburn stretched like a clothesline
25
Oh, you know me and that mule scrambled right through the hole
26
Me and that mule scrambled right through the hole
27
I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin'
28
Black Crow, sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six
29
Whittle you into kindlin'
30
Black Crow sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six
31
Now I hold him prisoner in a Washburn jail
32
That I strapped on the back of my old kick mule
33
Strapped him on the back of my old kick mule
34
Bang on the strings just to drive him crazy
35
Oh, I strum it loud to rattle his cage
36
Strum it loud just to rattle his cage
37
Strum it loud just to rattle his cage
38
Strum it loud just to rattle his cage
39
Oh, I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin'
40
Black Crow, sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six
41
Whittle you into kindlin'
42
Black Crow sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six
