A Carrion Crow

A carrion crow sat on an oak

To me inkum kiddy kum kimo

Watching a tailor mend his coat

To me inkum kiddy kum kimo

 

chorus: Key me near oh, kitty come kero

Key me near oh, ki mo

Bop,bop,bop,bop, billie illy inkum

Inkum kitty cum ki mo.

 

Bring me an arrow and a bow

To me inkum kiddy kum ki mo

Till I go shoot that carrion crow

To me inkum kiddy kum ki mo.

 

Repeat chorus

The old man fired, he missed his mark

To me inkum kiddy kum ki mo

He shot that old sow through the heart

To me inkum kiddy kum ki mo

 

Repeat chorus

Bring me molasses in a spoon

To me inkum kiddy kum ki mo

Till I go heal that old sows wound

To me inkum kiddy kum ki mo

 

Repeat chorus

Now the old sows dead and gone

To me inkum kiddy kum ki mo

Her little ones go waddlin' on

To me inkum kiddy kum ki mo

 

Repeat chorus
