Two Old Crows
There was a crow sat on a tree
And he was as black as black could be.
And he was as black as black could be.
And he was as black as black could be.

Now this old crow said to his mate,
Let us go and find something to eat
Let us go and find, etc.

They flew across the wide, wild plain,
To where a farmer had sown some grain
To where a farmer, etc.

Up came the farmer with his gun,
And he shot them both excepting one,
He shot them both, etc.

The one that escaped flew back to the tree
And he said, You old farmer you can't shoot me
He said you old, etc.


Words and music of Two Old Crows are in The Copper Family Song Book, and in Bob Copper's book, A Song for Every Season.
