[00:23.72]The sheep's in the meadow
[00:27.22]The cow's in the corn
[00:31.09]Now is the time for a child to be born
[00:40.65]You'll laugh at the moon
[00:44.09]and you'll cry for the sun
[00:48.40]And if it's a boy he'll carry a gun
[00:55.72]Sang the crow on the cradle
[01:06.21]
[01:11.90]And if it should be that this baby's a girl
[01:19.27]Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
[01:27.03]With rings on her fingers
[01:31.03]bells on her toes
[01:34.77]A shadow above her wherever she goes
[01:41.28]
[01:41.90]Sang the crow on the cradle
[01:52.03]
[01:58.53]The crow on the cradle
[02:02.40]The black on the white
[02:06.46]Somebody's baby is born for a fight
[02:13.90]The crow on the cradle
[02:17.78]The white on the black
[02:21.86]Somebody's baby is not coming back
[02:28.29]

[02:39.12]
[02:44.18]Sang the crow on the cradle
[02:54.56]
[03:16.74]Bring me my gun and I'll shoot that bird dead
[03:24.68]That's what your mother and father once said
[03:32.81]
[03:34.12]A crow on the cradle what can we do
[03:41.81]This is the thing I must leave up to you
