B. "Three Black Crows." Contributed by Professor S. A. Lynch, Iowa State Teachers College, Cedar Falls, October 6, 1931. He
learned the song as a boy. He wrote concerning it, "There were other stanzas, but this is the only one I can recall."
1. There were three crows sat on a tree,
And they were black as they could he.
Said one old crow to his other mate,
"What shall we for our breakfast take?"
