"John Crow"
is what they call the turkey vulture in the Caribbean.

Here in Maryland we call them turkey buzzards.

JOHN CROW BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

John Crow
let me go
I'm not dead
quit buzzing round my head
John Crow
leave me lone
I'll revive
I may be down but I'll survive

there is a desert in my soul
where not a drop of love remains
but still I look into the sky
for just a hint of rain

John Crow
go away
find some other
piece of carrion today
John Crow
in your eye
I can see
that only death
is all that keeps you still alive

when I last checked my heart still beats
though it's slow in all this heat
surely night will cool the sand
and I'll have the strength to stand

John Crow
let me go
I'm not dead
quit buzzing round my head
John Crow
leave me lone
I'll revive
I may be down but I'll survive
