Somewhere on a lonely muddy country road   I heard your song, crow, for the first time   Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low   Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime   Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime      Some say, "She died of drownin' in the river deep"   Some say, "She died of a sudden start"   Some say, "They found her swingin' from my old man's tree"   And some folks say, "She died of a broken heart"   And some folks say, "She died of a broken heart"      I can't believe they would pay men just to hunt me down   But silver coins to each one do they give   And by now there's a gallows standin' in the town   And I wonder how much more I have to live   And I wonder how much more I have to live      Oh somewhere on a lonely muddy country road   I heard your song crow, for the last time   Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low   Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime   Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime   Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime
