Bm Em Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn G D A Bm now is the time, for a child to be born Bm F#m he'll laugh at the moon and cry for the sun G D A Bm and if it's a boy, he'll carry a gun Em Bm sang the crow, on the cradle
[Verse 2]
Bm and if it should be that this baby's a girl G D A Bm never you mind if her hair doesn't curl Bm F#m with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes G D A Bm and a bomber above her wherever she goes Em Bm sang the crow, on the cradle
[Verse 3]
Bm the crow on the cradle, the black and the white G D A Bm somebody's baby, is born for a fight Bm F#m the crow on the cradle, the white and the black G D A Bm somebody's baby, is not coming back Em Bm sang the crow, on the cradle

[Verse 4]
Bm your mother and father will sweat and they'll slave G D A Bm to build you a coffin and dig you a grave Bm F#m hush-a-bye little one, never you weep G D A Bm for we've got a toy that can put you to sleep Em Bm sang the crow on the cradle
[Verse 5]
Bm bring me my gun, and I'll shoot that bird dead G D A Bm that's what your mother and father once said Bm F#m the crow on the cradle, what can we do G D A Bm Ah, this is a thing that I'll leave up to you Em Bm F#m sang the crow on the cradle G D A Bm this is a thing, that I'll leave up to you Em Bm sang the crow on the cradle
