Maddy's Crow Songs

Night Crows:

Little crows and middle crows
and long skinny old crows,
all must sleep at night.

Is our home in this tree, is it over there?
I guess we'll have to look every where.

Last night we slept in a cedar, night before in a fir.
Tonight we'll sleep in the elm tree, way up high that's for sure.

'Cause little crows and middle crows
and long skinny old crows-
all must sleep -Good Night.

                                                                      

Morning Crows:

Little crows and middle crows
and long skinny old crows,
all must rise and shine.

We flap our wings and stretch our feet,
wipe our eyes and clean our beaks
It's almost breakfast time.

On with our slippers and down the stairs
we run to the table - we're in our chairs.
Oh Boy, it's time to eat!

'Cause little crows and middle crows
and long skinny old crows,
all must rise and shine

These two little songs I wrote for my daughter Madeleine in 2002.  She was just a baby. We would stand out on the deck and watch the crows fly each evening and morning. She would lay in my arms and watch them so intently until they were out of sight.  She seemed so mesmerized I had to capture the moment.

We started and ended many a day just that way.

SUPPERTIME

Just some fun with a song I love
(Alternate lyrics and sung to the tune of Summertime ,George Gershwin)


Supppertime, and the eatin' is greasy
Fish are cooking, we got okra to fry.
Gravy's rich, and the cornbread is risin'
Clean plates baby, who's ready for pie?


One of these evenings, your going back for seconds
Gonna be so full, you'll just want to die.
But till then darlin', there's nothing can stop you
from dreamin' of heaven , where everything's fried.

(Repeat first verse)
