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)
