Hawd yer wheest ma wee lamb ma mither gently sighs
God’s will comes tae everythin’, so dry yer greetin’ eyes
He’s angel in that happy land where a’ the dogs are free
But canal dogs and deid fish are nae angels tae me
Goin’ doon the Crow Road‘s life’s only certainty.
Well I grew up an’ saw too many friends gone before their time
An’ a’ve wondered how God’s will, could be so damned unkind
They say there is a happy land, but I’m no so sure ye see
Cause they don’t know the answers any mair than you or me
An’, Goin’ doon the Crow Road’s life’s only certainty
Well I gae doon tae George’s Square wi’ ma faither an’ ma boys
Ma faither says it’s great tae see the trees an’ a’ the toys
He says afore it a’comes roon again he kens whaur he will be
The auld man he’s still goin’ strong, but one year he’ll be free
’Cause Goin’ doon the Crow Road’s life’s only certainty.
