The Willis Clan - The Wounded Crow lyrics

When once I was alone All to myself I did espy That on the lonely road Lo, a wounded crow did lie Its sore and injured wing Bent and broken by his side Once his pride Was now a weeping ruin Causing him to loudly sigh Come to me quickly And answer if you hear my cry If you refuse I will surely die At once I was amazed Who did make so grave a call What creature had I found and Where the reason for his fall An archer bold said he Sought to take me for his prize From the skies And pierced me through and through This you see is my demise But hark to me quickly And soon you’ll learn the reason why Men hunt me down Low and high For I have two wishes To grant unto the lucky man Who captures me fast In his hand I was in great surprise For to hear so strange a tale But also quite obliged On this fortune to avail So wished I for a chest Bound with j**els and with gold Wealth untold And for a silver crown All with wonder to behold No sooner had I spoke Riches round me did appear Gems so dear And died the creature strange Midst the treasures standing near When who should come quickly And find me in this new estate The archer arrived Once a moment late So now I have plenty And journey where you never know And fortune may come Everywhere I go
