13 Jul 97 - 11:49 AM (#8559) Subject: Sheet music to Blackest Crow or Time Draws.. From: trein@iglou.com Hello! I'm looking for the sheet music to an American (I think) traditional waltz called "The Blackest Crow," also known as "The Time Draws Near." Can anyone supply this or suggest sites I might try? Thanks! --Tony (Cincinnati) |

From: ms895@poppa.fab.albany.edu Tony, Doubt if there is any sheet music for The Blackest Crow, but I would suggest you get a copy of an album of Tommy Jarrell (don't remember which one has it, but the folks at County Records in Floyd, Va could tell you). Also I believe Brad Leftwich also recorded it on one of his albums. Check with Merrimac or County on that one. Good luck. Mark |

I wish my breast was made of glass
My dear old father's hard to leave
And when you're in some foreign land
The blackest crow that ever flew |

From: GUEST,tr47sc@yahoo.com 7/4/01 Tony, I have been searching everywhere I can think of for the sheet music for 'The Blackest Crow' also. No luck yet. Tim O'brien has an excellent ( best I've heard) rendition of the song on his CD ... 'Songs From The Mountain' from Howdy Skies Records. Tom |

05 Jul 01 - 09:25 AM (#498880) Subject: RE: Sheet music to Blackest Crow or Time Draws.. From: Joy Bennett ok, very well is being a bit understated - Bruce does the finest rendition of the song I have ever heard -- and even better live. |

I believe I have the words right...or, at least close enough. Once I figure out the chord progressions, I'll post them here.

From: GUEST,nubbin@hbeark.com I too have listened to this song about a zillion times, and was stumped on the line "tis but I suffer for your sake". I don't agree with the next to the last line that you've intrepreted. I believe it is "the elements will mourn" instead of yellow birds. nubbin. |
