TEN BLACK CROWS
Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone
Copyright 2018, South for Winter

Air line road
No town for miles
That iron horse, she’d ride,
Filling the air with her cries
’Til hell came down in a cloud of dust
Ain’t no way to run,
From a quick shot with a loaded gun

And he stood and watched the sky run red,
“God help you now,” he said

As ten black crows circled overhead
Single bullet left
“Any last requests?”
Ten black crows circled overhead
“Any final words?”
Is what the gunman said

A trail of gold ain’t hard to follow
Can’t hide among the willows
With your name on their tongues,
Face on each town post
And though his hands were quick to the trigger
The odds, they paid no favors
Ten guns around, so he laid his down

And stood and watched the sky run red,
“God help you now,” they said

As ten black crows circled overhead
Single bullet left
“Any last requests?”
Ten black crows circled overhead
“Any final words?”
Is what the townsmen said

“Take him down to the hangman’s tree,
Hell’s what he brings, that’s where he’ll be
Take him down to the hangman’s tree”
Oh, take him down

(Ten black crows, circling overhead)
Take him down to the hangman’s tree,
Hell’s what he brings, that’s where he’ll be
(Ten black crows)
Take him down to the hangman’s tree,
Oh, take him down
(Hell’s what he brings, that’s where he’ll be)
Take him down, take him down
(Take him down to the hangman’s tree)

Ten black crows circling overhead
Noose around his neck
“Any last requests?”
Ten black crows circling overhead
“Any final words?”
Is what the hangman says
