Crow Flies Again

Lyrics by Uncle John CBG, Guitar and Fretless Bass (no drums)

I'm sick and I'm broken- and trying to go home. (x2)

I'm a thousand miles from home. I don't want to die alone.

My daddy told me, “You reap what you sow. (x2)

But I didn't listen. Now I'm a sick and homeless hobo.

I'm a bad apple. Far from the tree. (x2)

I wasn't raised up to turn out this a' way....

I was raised up right, but it didn't sink in. (x2)

They raised me for Heaven, but I was bound for sin.

I shoulda gone home - a long time ago. (x2)

A thousand miles as the crow flies, but I'm no crow.

I'm sick and I'm broken- and trying to go home. (x2)

A thousand miles as the crow flies, but I'm no crow.

A thousand miles as the crow flies. I don't want to die alone.

Comment by Uncle John on April 2, 2016 at 4:19am: Must pick on Silent Jim.

I couldn't sleep last night because of 'Silent Jim.' (x2) He screams all night long since he's been in.

Comment by Uncle John on April 2, 2016 at 4:13am: Sorry. More.

The jail keeper is a guy named big Ben Gitty.                                                                                  He runs a tight old jail, but he ain't too pretty.

Another guard is a guy called A.G. P.                                                                                                   He should be the one in jail, believe me please.
