Thread Name: Three Black Crows
Subject: RE: Three Black Crows
The Scottish 'Three Craws' was also used on CND demonstrations and sung in Folk Clubs in the 1960's to protest about the citing of nuclear submarines in Scotland. The repeated line 'On a cold and frosty morning' was changed to - 'And we dinna want Polaris' That version had the sudden stop after 'The fourth craw wasna there at a' too. Georgina
