I am the black crow king, mhm I am the black crow king The keeper of the nodding corn A bam, bam, bam, bam (Bam, bam, bam, bam) All the hammers are a-talking (The hammers are a-talking) All the nails are a-singing (The nails are a-singing) So sweet and low (So deep and low) You can hear it in the valley Where live the lame and the blind They climb my hill out of its belly Leave with mean black boot shine I just made a simple gesture They jumped up and nailed it to my shadow Spread eagled like a hooker You know, my shadow's made of timber And the storm is a-rolling (The storm is a-rolling) And the storm it's a-rolling (Rolling) All down on me And I'm still here rolling after everybody's gone I'm still here rolling after everybody's gone Yeah, I'm still here rolling and I'm left on my own The blackbirds have all gone Everyone's rolled on I am the black crow king Keeper of the trodden corn I am the king Won't say it again And the rain, it raineth daily Lord And wash away my clothes I surrender up my arms To a company of crows I am the black crow king Honey, I won't say it again And all the thorns are a-crowning (The thorns are a-crowning) King ruby on each spine And all the spears are a-sailing Oh my, oh my The storm is rolling (The storm is rolling) The storm is a-rolling (Rolling) All down on me And I'm still rolling after everybody's gone I'm still here rolling after everybody's gone I'm still here rolling after everybody's gone The blackbirds flown and everybody's gone And I am on my own I am the black crow king Keeper of the forgotten corn The King, The King I'm the king of nothin' at all The hammers are talking (The hammers are a-talking) The nails are singing (The nails are a-singing The spears are sailing (The spears are a-sailing) The thorns are a-crowning him (The thorns are a-crowning him) The crows are a-mocking (The crows are a-mocking) The corn is a-nodding (The corn is a-nodding) The storm it's a-rolling (The storm is a-rolling) The storm it's a-rolling (The storm is a-rolling) Yeah, the storm it's a-rolling (The storm is a-rolling) Yeah, the storm it's a-rolling down (The storm is a-rolling) The storm is a-rolling down (The storm is a-rolling) The storm is a-rolling down on me Yeah, rolling down on me
