The Crow On The Cradle (Live at The Half Beat, Yorkville, Toronto, Canada, 10/21/1964) Joni Mitchell

[Verse 1]
The sheep's in the meadow
The cow's in the corn
Now is the time for a child to be born
Reach for the moon
And laugh at the sun
If he's a boy he'll carry a gun
Sang the crow on the cradle

[Verse 2]
If it should be that this baby's a girl
Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
Rings on her fingers
And bells on her toes
And a bomber above her wherever she goes
Sang the crow on the cradle

[Verse 3]
Rock-a-by-baby
The black and the white
Somebody's baby was born for a fight
Rock-a-by-baby
The white and the black
Somebody's baby is not coming back
Sang the crow on the cradle
