about

This is our arrangement of the haunting, traditional tune "The Blackest Crow."

lyrics

Verse 1:
As time draws near my dearest dear when you and I must part
How little you know of the grief and woe in my poor aching heart
Each night I suffer for your sake, you’re the one I love so dear
I wish that I was going with you or you were staying here

Verse 2:
I wish my breast were made of glass wherein you might behold
Upon my heart your name lies wrote in letters made of gold
In letters made of gold my love, believe me when I say
You are the darling of my heart until my dying day

Verse 3:
The blackest crow that ever flew would surely turn to white
If ever I prove false to you bright day would turn to night
Bright day would turn to night my love, the elements would mourn
If ever I prove false to you the seas would rage and burn

Verse 4:
And when you’re on some distant shore, think of your absent friend
And when the wind blows high and clear, a line to me, pray send
