THE THREE CROWS
Traditional Words and Tune
Additional Words by ELEG for SBWE

There was three crows sat on a tree
Billy Magee & Magraw
There was three crows sat on a tree
Billy Magee & Magraw
There was three crows sat on a tree
They were as black as crows could be
And they all flapped their wings and cried:
Caw, caw, caw
And they all flapped their wings and cried:
Caw, caw, caw

The big old crow in all his glory said
“Gather round I’ll tell you a story”
The big old crow in all his glory said
“Gather round I’ll tell you a story”
I was young when the world begun
I flew around in the glistening sun
As the earth grew round
And around the sun we spun
As the earth grew round
And around the sun we spun

(With special thanks to Mrs. Jane Crow Rutledge)
