Someday, baby, you know you got to die

And I wanna buy me a pistol, wants me forty rounds of ball
Shoot Crow Jane, just to see her fall
She got to fall, she got to...

Someday, baby, you know you got to die

Someday, baby, you know you got to die
You got to lay down and...

You know I never missed my water till my well went dry
Didn't miss Crow Jane until the day she died
Till the day she...
That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head too high
Someday, baby, you know you got to die
You got to lay down and...you got to die, you got to...
That's the reason I begged Crow Jane not to hold her head too high
Someday, baby, you know you got to die
You got to lay down and...
