Flying Crows Blues - Washboard Sam

Flyin' Crow, leave Port Arthur

Come to Shreveport to change her crew

Flyin' Crow leave, Port Arthur

Come to Shreveport to change her crew

She will take water at Texarkana

Yes, boys then keep on through

That Flyin' Crow, whistle

Sounds so lonesome and sad

That Flyin' Crow, whistle

Sounds so lonesome and sad

Lord, it broke my heart

And took the last woman I had

(Texas way!)

Two days, I cried

Three days, I walked the streets

(These women!)

Two days, I cried

Three days, I walked the streets

I couldn’t find nobody

To give my po' heart relief

'Beat it out, boy!'

(guitar & instrumental)

Yeah, yas, yas

Now, she’s gone, she is gone

With a red and green light behind

Now she’s gone, she is gone

With a red and green light behind

The red is for trouble

And the green is for my ramblin' mind
