THE TWO CROWS
(A South-Idaho Version)

There were two crows sat in a tree,
In a tree;
There were two crows sat in a tree,
In a tree;
There were two crows sat in a tree,
In a tree;
As black as any crows could be,
Crows could be.

The one crow whispered to his mate,
To his mate;
The one crow whispered to his mate,
To his mate;
The one crow whispered to his mate,
To his mate;
"Have you seen anything to eat,
Thing to eat?"

"There lies a horse in yonder field,
Yonder field;
There lies a horse in yonder field,
Yonder field;
There lies a horse in yonder field,
Yonder field;
And they we'll have a merry meal,
Merry meal."

"We'll perch upon his old backbone,
Old backbone;
We'll perch upon his old backbone,
Old backbone;
We'll perch upon his old backbone,
Old backbone;
And peck his eyes out one be one,
One by one!"
