There was a MURDER OF CROWS - on the river that day
When somebody shot Josephus- they all flew away
A gun was found in the hands of miss Zelda Duvet
It was a crime of passion- That's what the Police say

She did it right - a long goodnight- a little kiss in the park
He did it wrong- with a cheating song- sneaking around in the dark

Now there's five in the sky- see them blackbirds scatter
It's his time to die- and what he says- really doesn't matter
He broke the heart- of Miss Zelda Duvet
He's down on his knees- begging her please- honey don't blow me away

Now there's A MURDER OF CROWS- seeking higher ground
As she stood there with that gun- firing round after round
They say she gave him time- to kneel and pray
But when he stood back up- well it was judgment day

Now there's five in the sky- see them blackbirds fly
clean out of sight- they were fleeing the scene of the fight
now he's got to pay- for slipping around in the night
he;\'s down on his knees- begging her please- honey I'll make things right
Sure you will baby!
