Kris Kristofferson - Crippled Crow lyrics

Beggar standin' on the corner sing your
Song sing it for a dime
Give them all the pain you
Carried down the line
Music's flying past their ears rising like a
Burble those who herd will 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 of tin you carry is
Just the ticket to get you in

Beggar standin' on the corner dry your
Eyes your time is nigh
The tears your tastin' are only salty time
Your music's lasted through the years
Goin' through your troubles for
The herd to follow the out of tune ravings
The crown of thorns you're wearin' is just
The ticket to get you in
The out of tune ravings
The out of tune ravings
