Kate McCannon

Well the raven is a wicked bird, it's wings are black as sin
 And he floats outside my prison windows, mocking those within
 And he sings to me real low
 It's hell to where you go
 For you did murder Kate McCannon
 ♪
 When I first met Tom McCannon I was working in the mud
 Said he had himself a dark haired daughter, long green eyes
 And when she and I did meet, she was bathing in the creek
 Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler, that ain't no lie
 ♪
 So I went courting Kate McCannon
 Got me a job and quit my rambling
 Everyday I just save, a quarter of my pay
 I can buy a diamond ring
 ♪
 One day I come home to find
 My darling angel is not inside
 So I made for the creek, where she and I did meet
 Found her with some another lover
 ♪
 And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
