Biography:
Nehemiah Curtis "Skip" James (June 9, 1902 – October 3, 1969) was an American Delta blues singer, guitarist, pianist and songwriter.
His guitar playing is noted for its dark, minor-key sound, played in an open D-minor tuning with an intricate finger picking technique. James first recorded for Paramount Records in 1931, but these recordings sold poorly, having been released during the Great Depression, and he drifted into obscurity.

Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane, don't you hold your head high,
E B7 E
Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.
B7 E B7 E
You got to lay down and, you got to die, you got to

Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.

You know I dug her grave, eight feet in the ground,
E B7 E
Didn't feel sorry til they let her down.

they had to, let her down, they had, to let her down,
(Repeat Chorus)
