lyrics

There were two crows who sat on a tree
And they were as black as God made them be
And one of them I heard him say
Oh where shall we go to dine today?
Shall we go down to the tallgrass sea?
Or shall we go dine by the cottonwood tree?
Shall we go down to the tallgrass sea?
Or shall we go dine by the cottonwood tree?

As I flew over the wild prairie
I saw a chargin' cavalry
I waved my wings, I bent my beak
The battle raged and I heard shriek
There lie dog soldiers, one, two, three
Oh shall we go dine on the wild prairie?
There lie dog soldiers, one, two. three
Oh shall we go dine on the wild prairie?

Come I know a grander meal's relief
The corpse of a new-slain Cheyenne Chief
His blood yet on the grass is hot
His bow undrawn, his shafts unshot
And no one knows that he lies there
But his hound, his horse, and his lady fair
Oh no one knows that he lies there
But his hound, his horse, and his lady fair

Oh you shall tear at his naked thigh
And I'll peck out his dark brown eyes
You can pull a lock of his fine black hair
To thicken your nest when it gets bare
His flesh it gives with a little pull
His flesh will keep my young ones full
His flesh it gives with a little pull
His flesh will keep my young ones full

Oh cold and bare will his bed be
When grey winter storms o'er the tallgrass sea
At his head the turf at his feet limestone
He neither sleeps nor hears his fair lady mourn
O'er his white bones the birds will fly
The wild deer run and the coyote cries
O'er his white bones the birds will fly
The wild deer run and the coyotes cries
