[Verse 1] Bm The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn GDABm now is the time, for a child to be born BmF#m he'll laugh at the moon and cry for the sun GDABm and if it's a boy, he'll carry a gun EmBm sang the crow, on the cradle
[Verse 2] Bm and if it should be that this baby's a girl GDABm never you mind if her hair doesn't curl BmF#m with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes GDABm and a bomber above her wherever she goes EmBm sang the crow, on the cradle
[Verse 3] Bm the crow on the cradle, the black and the white GDABm somebody's baby, is born for a fight Bm the crow on the cradle, the white and the black GDABm somebody's baby, is not coming back EmBm sang the crow, on the cradle

[Verse 4] Bm your mother and father will sweat and they'll slave GDABm to build you a coffin and dig you a grave Bm hush-a-bye little one, never you weep GDABm for we've got a toy that can put you to sleep EmBm sang the crow on the cradle
[Verse 5] Bm bring me my gun, and I'll shoot that bird dead GDABm that's what your mother and father once said Bm the crow on the cradle, what can we do GDABm Ah, this is a thing that I'll leave up to you EmBm sang the crow on the cradle GDABm this is a thing, that I'll leave up to you EmBm sang the crow on the cradle
