Текст песни: I Go Like The Raven + перевод

Woodpecker woman, chipaway, whittle

Carve my name in a hick’ry fiddle

Dance all night, dream just a little

I go like the raven

Down in the meadow, deep in the holler

Bullfrong sing to the bug-eyed crawler

Slide to the rake, hop to the caller

Reel with the willow waivin'

Shine the merlin moonbeam eye

Set my dancin' feet to fly

O’er the dark and dervish sky

I go like the raven

Now long time ago I had me a feller

Three-cocked hat and a coat o' yeller

Locked me down in a sawdust cellar

Fed me beans and bacon

Through the doorway he did enter

Played him coy, played him tender

Played him slumber through the winter

Gone when the birds awakened

Shine the merlin moonbeam eye

Set my dancin' feet to fly

O’er the dark and dervish sky

I go like the raven

When they hear my bowstrings tightnin'

Angels gay, devils frightnin'

C’mon fire and midnight lightnin' to the garden gancy

Hail the wayward werewolf howlin'

Haints and shades and goblins growlin'

Fiends and demon deevs a-prowlin'

When I break and fancy

Shine the merlin moonbeam eye

Set my dancin' feet to fly

O’er the dark and dervish sky

I go like the raven

Now all you blackbirds, plain or pretty

Hear my words for rede or witty:

Keep the greenwood, shun the city

And her dandies craven
