Crow Jane, Crow Jane, what make you hold your head so high?
Says, you must remember, boy, you got to lay down and die
Said, I went to the church and I fell down on my knees
And I asked the good Lord, "Just forgive me, Lord, if you please."
If the blues was whiskey, baby, I'd stay drunk all the time
Says, I would go crazy but I can't afford to lose my mind
Crow Jane, Crow Jane, what make you hold your head so high?
Says, you must remember, boy, you got to lay down and die
I used to have a little woman, I love her for my own
And when she got away, boy, I say, she done left my home
I looked up at the moon and the moon was shining bright
Say, I can't get no competition from my baby at night
Gonna buy me a bulldog, honey, just to watch Shine while he sleep
Just to keep my baby from makin' her midnight creep
Crow Jane, Crow Jane, what make you hold your head so high?
Says, you must remember, boy, you got to lay down and die
Oh yeah! (spoken)

My mama, she's in heaven, ah, she talkin' with the Lord
And her son down here bein' treated like a dog
"Hey captain, what's your whup team name?"
"Some call 'im Bad-Eye Stetson, but I call him Stavin' Chain."
I used to have a little woman, ah, she was good to me
And when I saw you, baby, and I walked off, don't you see?
Hey blues, stay away from my door
Ah, when you leave this time hard luck won't come back no more
Umm, hmmm, ummm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Umm, hmmmm, hmm, hm, hmmm
Says, if I can't sing, baby, I'm gon' moan it out
My baby all time walkin' 'round with her mouth juked out
Oh yeah! (spoken)
SOLO
Ummm, hmmm, ummmmmmmmmmm
Umm, umm, ummmmmmmmm
