[Chorus]
Shake, children, shake
Yeah, ring your bell
Go down willing
There's thunder up ahead
Shake, children, shake
Shake your tambourine
Dance for me now
Like you sold your dream

[Hook]
If I had wings like the dove, like the dove
Maybe I could see it as a peaceful world
But hey, I'm afraid I'm a raven

[Chorus]
Shake, baby, shake
My little roving jewel
Rally come 'round
My little sunshine girl
Shake, baby, shake
That black country down
I beg your mercy, sister
For the fool that wears the crown

[Hook]
If I had wings like the dove, like the dove
Maybe I could see it as a peaceful world
But hey, I'm afraid I'm a raven
[Verse 1]
Yonder comes day with the full moon in her eye
I liked the old ways, those mystical times
For blue though they seemed, I sang so easy
Lord, how I loved the outlaw life

[Chorus]
Shake, children, shake
Shake your soul
Please break the chain
I could not this time around
