[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
