Old Crow

Old Crow you took my daddy

Old Crow you ruined his life

Old Crow you made him crazy

Old Crow he beat his wife

When I was but a young one

I was afraid when he came home

Was he drunk or was he sober?

When he opened up the door

If my momma looked at him funny

Her eye would blackened be

He would yell and he would curse her

And then he might turn on me

I'd pretend to be sleeping

My eyes closed tight as they could be

My head buried in the sofa

Oh please stop, please let her be

Old Crow you finally did it

You drove us from our childhood home

We left in fear as he chased us

Down the street where I once played

But Old Crow you were defeated

In the end it was you who lost

For my daddy came to Jesus

He saw God's love upon the Cross

My daddy died not long thereafter 

It was a stroke that took him home

Carried by God's Dove up into heaven

Where at last he will have rest

So my friend if you have troubles

If Old Crow is in your life

God’s redemptive love can heal you

Bring you from darkness into light

The Dove can take your pain and suffering

He can take your deepest fears

He can fill you with His Presence

And give you purpose, joy, and life.
