Black Crow

There's a black crow on my fencepost, I've been watching him for a while

Well he looks so very contented

kind of a Mona Lisa back crow smile

He don't do nothin but scrounge around and laugh with his buddies in the sky

Eats just anything that can be found

He never needs to know no reasons why, oh no

Never needs to know no reasons why     

You can be my black crow, baby, we'll go sit up in that old dead tree

We can make a lot of noise, go make black crow love

then fly away so joyfully

And when the snow drifts deep on the fencerows

we'll just catch the first jet stream south

Have ourselves a time with them Dixieland Ravens

down at Cagin' Carl's Black Crow Boarding House

at the black crow boarding house

We can go anywhere that you want to - make friends everywhere we go

You can be my number one travelling friend

and I'll be your favorite crow

And so the next time you see a black shadow or hear a "caw caw" up in the air

Hey I'm sending down my love to my black crow baby

I'm living like a millionaire - said I'm living like a millionaire

Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire

From New Orleans up to Saint Pierre

They'll be ravin' about us everywhere

'Cause we're living like a millionaire
