GUEST,Waldo Lyr Req: Red River (Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee) (7) Lyr Add: CROW JANE (Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee) 19 Jul 04


There is an another recording of Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry on the Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Collection (also on Sonny Terry's "Whoopin'")

Lyrics something like this (sorry, some of the words I couldn't get)...

CHORUS

Crow Jane, Crow Jane
What makes you hold your head so high?
You realize honey you're gonna lay down and die

(harmonica break)

I said go down to that camp
and tell your brother Bill
that the woman he be lovin'
sure gonna get him killed.

(chorus)

(harmonica break)

Did you get that letter
I throwed (?) in your back yard?
Well I woulda come to see you baby
but your other man had me barred.

(chorus)

Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!
Wooo! Wooa.....

I love you Crow Jane
and I'll tell thee (?) what I do...
You're a good little girl Crow Jane
but I swear you won't be true.

(chorus)

I'm gonna sing this verse
and I ain't gonna sing no more
My other girl called me
I'm pooped/booked (?) and I'm bout to go home.

One more time!

(chorus)


Crow Jane! (yeah)
Don't hold your head so high baby!
(I think we got it)
