Mother crow
Feels no pain
Speaks no word
Speckled egg
Hatching slow
Bible black
Baby bird
One day
Fly over me
Placed you in
Flannel coat
Months fly by
Grow your bones
Feathers, skin
Bible black
By and by
You will spread your wings
One day
Fly over me
Fly over
Fly over me
Over me
Fly over
Fly over me
Feels no pain
Speaks no word
Speckled egg
Hatching slow
Bible black
Baby bird
One day
Fly over me
Placed you in
Flannel coat
Months fly by
Grow your bones
Feathers, skin
Bible black
By and by
You will spread your wings
One day
Fly over me
Fly over
Fly over me
Over me
Fly over
Fly over me
