Three Crows

V1
Three crows restin’ on a rickety fence
Callin’ my name, but it don’t make sense
I keep on tellin’ ‘em I’m too young to die

V2
Three crows perchin’ on a window ledge
Lookin’ right in, now I'm feelin’ on edge
I keep on tellin’ em I’m too young to die

V3
Three crows standin’ at the foot of my bed
Beady black eyes borin’ into my head
I keep on tellin’ 'em I’m too young to die

Bridge
But them old birds never pay no mind
...Waitin' there until they know it’s time
Then in they swoop on ebony wings
Tearin' at the past an' the ache it brings
Peckin' at bones of old regrets
Strippin’ ‘em bare to help you forget

Instrumental solo

V4
Three crows restin’ on a weatherworn stone
Hummin’ my name, though I thought they’d flown
‘Cause I kept on tellin’ ‘em I was too young to die

Finnegans Wake Book 1 Chapter 1
The three of crows have flapped it southenly, kraaking of de baccle to the kvarters of that sky whence triboos answer; Wail, 'tis well! She niver comes out when Thon's on shower or when Thon's flash with his Nixy girls or when Thon's blowing toom- cracks down the gaels of Thon. No nubo no! Neblas on you liv! Her would be too moochy afreet. Of Burymeleg and Bindme- rollingeyes and all the deed in the woe. Fe fo fom! She jist does hopes till byes will be byes. Here, and it goes on to appear now, she comes, a peacefugle, a parody's bird, a peri potmother, a pringlpik in the ilandiskippy, with peewee and powwows in beggybaggy on her bickybacky and a flick flask fleckflinging its pixylighting pacts' huemeramybows, picking here, pecking there, pussypussy plunderpussy. But it's the armitides toonigh, militopucos, and toomourn we wish for a muddy kissmans to the minutia workers and there's to be a gorgeups truce for happinest childher everwere. Come nebo me and suso sing the day we sallybright. She's burrowed the coacher's headlight the better to pry (who goes cute goes siocur and shoos aroun) and all spoiled goods go into her nabsack: curtrages and rattlin buttins, nappy spattees and flasks of all nations, clavicures and scampulars, maps, keys and woodpiles of haypennies and moonled brooches with bloodstaned breeks in em, boaston nightgarters and masses of shoesets and nickelly nacks and foder allmicheal and a lugly parson of cates and howitzer muchears and midgers and maggets, ills and ells with loffs of toffs and pleures of bells and the last sigh that come fro the hart (bucklied!) and the fairest sin the sunsaw (that's cearc!). With Kiss. Kiss Criss. Cross Criss. Kiss Cross. Undo lives 'end. Slain.
