AS THE CROW FLIES 
(Written by: Tony Joe White)
Rory Gallagher - 1974


Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, 
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, 
As the crow flies baby, 
Well, I ain't so far from you, 
As the crow flies baby. 
Well, I ain't so far from you, 
But since I don't have wings, 
I can't get home as fast as I want to. 
Um um um hoo, 

As the crow flies baby, 
Well, I ain't so far from you, 
As the crow flies baby. 
Well, I ain't so far from you, 
But since I don't have wings, 
I can't get home as fast as I want to. 

In a dream last night, 
Where I heard you call my name, 
In a dream last night, 
Where I heard you call my name, 
Well, I took it as an omen, 
And I jumped on the very first freight train. 

Yeah..... as the crow flies. 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

Well, you don't know baby, 
How I miss your sweet caress, 
Well, you don't know baby, 
How I miss your sweet caress, 
When I'm in your lovin' arms, 
I swear I'm at my very best. 

As the crow flies baby, 
That's how I'm on my way, 
As the crow flies baby, 
I'm on my way. 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

If I don't stop runnin', 
I can get home for the break of day, 
Get home for the break of day, 
Get home for the break of day, 
Get home for the break of day, 
Get home for the break of day, 
Get home for the break of day, 
Get home for the break of day, 
Get home for the break of day.
