about

A country song about my Granddad's pet crow...well no one else was going to write one

lyrics

Someone once asked me what I 'member 'bout my Nan and Pap
She's a short, skinny woman. He's a tall ruddy-faced chap
Who let out a scream when he put on aftershave
But the thing I 'member most is the crow my Pappy saved

Charlie the Crow he called out his name
In the sun and the pouring rain
Charlie the crow he's always the same
An' Charlie the crow is pecking at my toes again

I lived there for a while when I was just a lad
I had to stay there my Mum was feeling sad
An' they put me in the garden and worked me like a slave
But the thing I 'member most is the crow my Pappy saved

Chorus

When Pappy died it hit everybody hard
I went to see Charlie one last time in the yard
But he'd been sent off to an aviary
And once in a while I could go and see
Of course I miss Pappy now he's in his grave
But the thing I miss the most is the crow my Pappy saved

Chorus x 2
