[Verse 1]
Hot December, ice cold July
Things are upside down and I don't know why
Bitter honey, worthless money
Steak's all bone and the jokes aren't funny

[Chorus]
Things seemed okay just a minute ago
Now all I see is one white crow (One white crow)
White as the fallen snow
All I see is one white crow
(Doo doo doo, doo doo doo)

[Verse 2]
Mountain low and river high
Con men preach and the preachers lie
Wood don't burn, kids don't learn
Work all day, not a penny do you earn

[Chorus]
Things seemed okay just a minute ago
Now all I see is one white crow (One white crow)
White as the falling snow
All I see is one white crow
(Doo doo doo, doo doo doo)
