Carrion Crow



An old crow sat upon an oak,

Derry, derry derry, dayco

An old crow sat upon an oak

Watching a tailor sew a coat.

Sing hi-ho carrion crow

Derry, derry derry day co.



Oh wife bring me my old bent bow

Derry, derry, derry, day co

Wife bring me my old bent bow

That I may shoot yon carrion crow

Sing hi-ho carrion crow

Derry, derry derry, day co.



The tailor shot and he missed his mark

Derry, derry, derry day co

The tailor shot and he missed his mark

He shot his old sow through the heart.

Sing hi-ho carrion crow

Derry, derry, derry day co.



The old sow died and the bells did toll

Derry, derry derry day co

The old sow died and the bells did toll

The little pigs prayed for the old sow's soul

Hi ho carrion crow

Derry, derry derry, day co



As sung by Frederick Turner of Marlboro Vermont.
