I Go Like The Raven Lyrics - Singles - Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer

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 

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 ... 

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 ... 

Now all you blackbirds, plain or pretty, hear my words for rede or witty: 

Keep the greenwood, shun the city and her dandies craven
