The Carrion Crow
1 A carrion crow sat on an oak, Derry, derry, derry, decco; A carrion crow sat on an oak, Watching a tailor shaping his cloak. Heigh-ho! the carrion crow, Derry, derry, derry, decco. 2 "O wife, bring me my old bent bow," Derry, derry, derry, decco; "O wife, bring me my old bent bow, "That I may shoot yon carrion crow." Heigh-ho! the carrion crow, Derry, derry, derry, decco. 3 The tailor shot, and he missed his mark, Derry, derry, derry, decco; The tailor shot, and he missed his mark, And shot his old sow right through the heart Heigh-ho! the carrion crow, Derry, derry, derry, decco. 4 "O wife, bring brandy in a spoon," Derry, derry, derry, decco; "O wife, bring brandy in a spoon, "For our old sow is in a swoon." Heigh-ho! the carrion crow, Derry, derry, derry, decco.
