Crow Lyrics

I've raised ale with soldiers and dined with gentlemen

Knew many a sailor made many a friend

I've known good preachers farmers and magistrates

Lawyers and ladies surveyors and slaves

But the best man I know is a Crow

With skin as red as clay

Some warned me not to trust him

Cuz they don't understand his ways

But he gives his word and keeps it

Only hunts it if he needs it

When he speaks his heart he means it

The best man I know is a Crow

Every heart is darkened the scriptures are surely true

But my friend the Indian is the best I ever knew

He's not concerned with wealth and empty earthen gain

His heart is with his people and the honor of his name

The best man I know is a Crow

With skin as red as clay

Some warned me not to trust him

Cuz they don't understand his ways

But he gives his word and keeps it

Only hunts it if he needs it

When he speaks his heart he means it

The best man I know is a Crow

The best man I know is a redskin

With feathers in his hair

The best man I know is a savage

But I ain't found no savage there

Gives his word and keeps it

Only hunts it if he needs it

When he speaks his heart he means it

The best man I know is a Crow
