Billy McGee McGaw

There were three crows sat on a tree,
Billy McGee McGaw.
There were three crows sat on a tree,
Billy McGee McGaw.
There were three crows sat on a tree,
And they were black as crows can be.

Chorus

And they all flapped their wings and cried,
"Caw, caw, caw, Billy McGee McGaw."
And they all flapped their wings and cried,
"Billy McGee McGaw."

Said one old crow unto his mate,
Billy McGee McGaw.
Said one old crow unto his mate,
Billy McGee McGaw.
Said one old crow unto his mate,
"What shall we do for food to eat?"

Chorus

There lies a horse in yonder plain,
Billy McGee McGaw.
There lies a horse in yonder plain,
Billy McGee McGaw.
There lies a horse in yonder plain,
By some soldier cruelly slain.

Chorus

We'll perch ourselves on his backbone,
Billy McGee McGaw.
We'll perch ourselves on his backbone,
Billy McGee McGaw.
We'll perch ourselves on his broad backbone,
And pluck his eyes out one by one.
