Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds — Crow Jane

[Verse 1] Crow Jane Crow Jane Crow Jane Horrors in her head That her tongue dare not name She lives alone by the river The rolling rivers of pain [Refrain] Crow Jane, Crow Jane Crow Jane, Ah hah huh [Verse 2] There is one shining eye on a hard-hat The company closed down the mine Winking on waters they came Twenty hard-hats, twenty eyes In her clapboard shack Only six foot by five They killed all her whiskey And poured their pistols dry [Refrain] Crow Jane, Crow Jane Crow Jane, Ah hah huh [Verse 3] Seems you've remembered How to sleep, how to sleep The house dogs are in your turnips And your yard dogs are running all over the street [Refrain] Crow Jane, Crow Jane Crow Jane, Ah hah huh [Verse 4] "O Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson Why you close up shop so late?" "Just fitted out a girl who looked like a bird Measured .32, .44, .38 I asked that girl which road she was taking Said she was walking the road of hate But she stopped on a coal-trolley up to New Haven Population: 48" [Refrain] Crow Jane, Crow Jane Crow Jane, Ah hah huh [Verse 5] Your guns are drunk and smoking They've followed you right back to your gate Laughing all the way back from the new town Population, now, 28 [Refrain] Crow Jane, Crow Jane Crow Jane, Ah hah huh
