Kishore Kumar Hits — Karine Polwart - Crow on the Cradle lyrics

Artist: Karine Polwart

album: Laws of Motion

The sheeps are in the meadow
The cae are in the corn
Now is the time for our child to be born
He'll cry at the moon
And he'll laugh at the sun
If he's a boy he will carry a gun
Cries the crow
On the cradle
And if it should be that our child is a girl
Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
Rings on her fingers
And bells on her toes
A bobber above her wherever she goes
Cries the crow
On the cradle
Rock-a-bye-baby
The black and the white
Somebody's baby is born for a fight
Rock-a-bye-baby
The white and the black
Somebody's baby is not coming back
Cries the crow
On the cradle
Your mama and papa
They'll scrimp and they'll save
Build you a coffin
And dig you a grave
Hush-a-bye little one
Why do you weep?
We have a toy that will put you to sleep
Cries the crow
On the cradle
We have a gun that will shoot that bird dead
That's what your mama and papa once said
Crow on the cradle, now what shall I do?
That is a thing that I leave up to you
Cries the crow
Crow, crow
On the cradle
(Cries the crow)
Ai-hai
(Cries the crow)
Nai-ai-hai
(Cries the crow)
Ai-hai
(Cries the crow)
Nai-ai-hai-ai-hai
(Cries the crow)
Ai-hai
(Cries the crow)
Ai-hai-ai-ai-hai
(Cries the crow)
Ai-hai
(Cries the crow)
