Old Man Crow Lyrics

Here's the tale of Old Man Crow

He's gone insane from his life of pain

He raised two boys up on his own

And it cut his soul down to the bone each day

He taught them right from wrong but still he prayed

That his boys would find their way

When Old Man Crow was thirty five

He went out to the mill and the

Memory still brings him chills

His leg got ripped off by the saw

And he feared his boys would no

Longer have a pa around

But his boys thought quick and saved their daddy's life

And carried him back to town

His boys grew up fast and they grew up quick

You see one went north and the other went back and forth

One got lucky and won some land

The other got fast with both his hands and drawin' a gun

He soon became a Ranger of the south

In the Arizona sun

When Old Man Crow turned sixty eight

He suffered from a demented mental state

So his grandson Red he moved on down

From Montana to the quiet town of Agua Fria

Red said he'd take care of Old Man Crow

Who just had no idea

The old man's frown turned upside down

When he found out that his grandson moved to town

When Crow asked Red about his job

Red lied and said: those who kill and rob my bullets kiss

Red smiled and said to Old Man Crow:

"And don't worry, I never miss"
