Over lines by the ways o' man
Stalk the birdie biker clan
Where the rooks and the hoodies fed
On a feast of MacAdam's dead
He's a speaker o' tongues
He's a dweller o' the lums
And down Broomielaw on high
You can hear Crowfeathers fly
[Chorus: ...]
Crowfeathers, Crowfeathers
Over street and glen we fly
Crowfeathers, Crowfeathers
"Steal the sheep's back" Corbies cry
Catch the twinkle in their eye
Leer at lonely passers by
Fix you with a Raven's glare
It's how they catch you unaware
On a pine top bide the throng
Swear at every breaking dawn
And by the Naver and the Clyde
Sing aloud their battle cry.
[Chorus: ...]
On a Cuillen crag alight
Crow black feathers cry delight
Or a rone's a place to go
A million people crawl below
Stabbing midden heaps for gold
As crowfeathers did of old
And where the iron bridges span
Ride the Kye and haunt the lamb
[Chorus: ...]
