Land of Crow 04:19
lyrics
I'll sing your soul to sleep underneath your hanging tree Where the elders swing and twilight's dim Fires burn, wood line glows, hooded men ride off like ghosts Linen face hides their grin Time moves on the young folks grow Forgot their dreams in the Land of Crow Where broken men hum songs to cope Where my mama said I should forgive you The Good Book says I have to let it go In the Land of Crow I'll sing your soul to sleep underneath your hanging tree Where the fruit is sweet, but the days seem long Chase those girls down muddy streams Tear their gowns and rip their sheets Where the tears beat blood clay roads Sun burns on skin black like coal Freedom stings in the Land of Crow Where shackled men were bought and sold Where my mama cried "I can't continue" Where the boss man says "Boy, you better move along" In the Land of Crow I'll sing your soul to sleep underneath your hanging tree where the fruit is sweet.

about

'Land of Crow' and 'Whiskey Devil' are the first songs to be released of a five-track EP.

You can pre-order the EP here:

jimcalico.bandcamp.com/album/land-of-crow

Blending the soulful vocals of Jim Calico with the polished production of The Howard Hughes Suite, original and previously recorded compositions come alive with a blend of folk and soul. After reading a blog from Various Small Flames containing the song Land of Crow The Howard Hughes Suite reworked the original idea and sent a demo to Jim Calico. Fate intervened, leading to the creation of the sounds you hear today. We proudly present Jim Calico & The Howard Hughes Suite.

I'll sing your soul to sleep underneath your hanging tree
Where the elders swing and twilight's dim
Fires burn, wood line glows, hooded men ride off like ghosts
Linen face hides their grin
Time moves on the young folks grow
Forgot their dreams in the Land of Crow
Where broken men hum songs to cope
Where my mama said I should forgive you
The Good Book says I have to let it go

In the Land of Crow

I'll sing your soul to sleep underneath your hanging tree
Where the fruit is sweet, but the days seem long
Chase those girls down muddy streams
Tear their gowns and rip their sheets
Where the tears beat blood clay roads
Sun burns on skin black like coal
Freedom stings in the Land of Crow
Where shackled men were bought and sold
Where my mama cried "I can't continue"
Where the boss man says "Boy, you better move along"

In the Land of Crow

I'll sing your soul to sleep underneath your hanging tree where the fruit is sweet.
