This jazzy duet sung by Donna and Melanie was composed for Donna as a gift for her croning rite of passage. Alane Crowomyn wrote the song and Donna improvised the tags not included in the lyrics below. It’s on our album Crow Magic, track 17, available from our store. Charlie sure sounds great on that drum kit, right?
Lyrics:
I am a wise woman
I am the crone
I am a wise woman
I am the crone
I am no one’s to use
And I may still sing the blues

And you may still sing the blues
But if you do
It’s ‘cause you choose
