Capo 1 Someone once asked me what I 'member bout my Nan and Pap She was a short skinny woman he's a tall ruddy faced chap He'd let out a scream when he put on aftershave But the thing I 'member most is the crow my pappy saved Charlie the crow, called out his name In the sun and the pouring rain Charlie the crow he's always the same Charlie the crow's pecking at my toes again I lived there for a while when I was just a lad I had to stay there coz my Mum was feeling bad They put me in the garden and worked me like a slave But the thing I 'member most is the crow my pappy saved (picked - bass note, 2nd note, string) When pappy died it hit everybody hard I went to see Charlie one last time in the yard But he'd been sent off to an aviary Once in a while I could go and see Of course I miss pappy now he's in his grave But the thing I miss most is the crow my pappy saved
