1
I am the black crow king
2
I am the black crow king
3
The Keeper of the nodding corn
4
All the hammers are a-talking, all the nails are a-singing
5
So sweet and low, you can hear it in the valley
6
Where live the lame and the blind
7
They climb the hill out of its belly, leave with mean, black boots on
8
I just made a simple gesture
9
They jumped up and nailed it to my shadow
10
Spread-eagled like a hooker
11
You know, my shadow's made of timber
12
And the storm is a-rolling
13
And the storm, its a-rolling
14
And I'm still rolling after everybody's gone
15
I'm still here, rolling after everybody's gone
16
I'm still here rolling and I'm left on my own
17
The blackbirds have all gone, everyone's rolled on
18
I am the black crow king
19
Keeper of the trodden corn
20
I am the king, won't say it again
21
And the rain, it raineth daily Lord
22
And wash away my clothes
23
I surrender up my arms to a company of crows
24
I am the black crow king, honey, I won't say it again
25
And all the thorns are a-crowning
26
King ruby on each spine
27
And all the spears are a-sailing
28
Oh, my, oh, my
29
The storm is a-rolling
30
The storm is a-rolling
31
All down on me
32
And I'm still rolling after everybody's gone
33
I'm still here, rolling after everybody's gone
34
I'm still here, rolling after everybody's gone
35
The blackbirds have flown and everybody's gone
36
And I'm on my own, I'm the black crow king
37
Keeper of the forgotten corn
38
The king, the king
39
I'm the king of nothin' at all
40
The hammers are talking
41
The nails are singing
42
The spears are sailing
43
The thorns are a-crowning him
44
The crows are a-mocking
45
The corn is a-nodding
46
The storm, it's a-rolling
47
The storm, it's a-rolling
48
The storm, it's a-rolling down
49
The storm, it's a-rolling down
50
The storm is a-rolling down on me
51
Yeah, rolling down on me
