Crippled Crow

performed by kris kristofferson



Beggar standin' on the corner sing your song

Sing it for a dime

Bring them all the pain you carried down the line

Your music's flyin' post their ears

Goin' through your troubles for the herd to follow

The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow

Movin' down the ladder slow

Where your friends on knee will help you

And the cup-o tin you carry

Is just a ticket to get you in



Beggar standin' on the corner dry your eye

You're tiring now

The tears you're tastin' now are only salty time

Your music's lasted thru the year

Goin' through your troubles for the herd to follow

The out of tune ravings of rhe crippled crow

Movin' down the ladder slow

Where your friends on knee will help you

And the crown of thorns you're wearing

Is just a ticket to get you in



The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow

Moving down the ladder slow

Where your friends on knee will help you

The out of tune ravings of the crippled crow

Moving down the ladder slow

Where your friends on knee will help you
