Colter Wall - Kate McCannon Lyrics
Well the raven is a wicked bird
His wings are black as sin
And he floats outside my prison window
Mocking those within
And he sings to me real low
For you did murder Kate McCannon
When I first met Tom McCannon
I was working in the mines
Said he had himself a dark haired daughter
With long, green eyes
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 a courtin' Kate McCannon
Got me a job and I quit my ramblin'
And every day I'd save
A quarter of my pay
I could buy a diamond ring
Lord and one day I come home to find
My darlin' angel's not inside
So I made for the creek
Where she and I did meet
And found her with some other lover
And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon

Colter Wall Kate McCannon Comments
Absolute pure unadulterated talent from a voice we already are so familiar with yet it comes from another mans lips.
My hat off to you sir.
Bravo, Bravo 👏
Colter bringing back that real shit son.
Probably should have put a fourth round for good measure
Dear Colter . I love your song cowpoke the most but hell i like them all and love your old school style but this video does injustice to the song you wrote and to your representation to the old timers that might like your old fashioned style.I can't let my kids watch it .you could have done so much better and not be so vulgar. Ps Kate's hair wasn't even dark and we never saw the ring or a mine or creek.. I hope you know the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and start using his influence. Rebuke a wise man and he will thank you. Rebuke a fool and he will hate you. Which one are you?
I heard this song long before seeing this video, and after seeing Kate Mccannon had blue hair I'm not at all surprised that she was bangin' other dudes lol
His voice makes me feel like everything in this world is ok.
I honestly don’t know why so many people think real country is dead. There are so many people like colter wall that are true country singers. Country will never be dead
The chinaman is not the issue here.
I heard this song before seeing the video and was imagining an old west pasture with a Cabin and a stream in the back. It just feels/sounds like an old west picture. Not a big fan of the actual video made but hey..not my song
omg, wicked plot line
The acoustic version is better
24 years old... Fucking amazing.
There's hope for country music.
DOCH 1112 thank you for showing me this song.
Thot slaying song
Whoooo baby knoxville tonight!!! I pray u sing this song my fave!
Yep i was the crazy chic in balcony screamed kate mccannon!!! Thank you for singing it!!
Him as an old man dancing in the same spot where he danced as a newlywed is crazy to think about
This music video plays like its fan made
What's her name
Day 5 of finding this song and I play it 500 times a day!!! The sound of the best and Colter's voice posses me 😂
Thank God I clicked on his sleeping on the black top.
I feel like how he does. What a horrible thing to live through. Would take a man from 100-0 in a second. A woman's lost love
does anyone else think this looks like the set of trailer park boys
Истина эта конечно прописная,но самая красивая женщина,это та,которую ту любишь!Песня гениальна!!! Colter Wall,respect from Odessa,Rossia!
She kind had it coming tho
Abii,kral şarkı
Great song and Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself.
Is this song based on a true story at first I thought no but then it says in memory of Kate mccannon im confused if you know please let me know I'm very curious
These actors are way too hipster for this song.
Kate in the video looks like an Anorexic Meth Addict . Doesn't look anything like the song describes her to be . Guess , beauty is in the eye of the beholder . Trailer Trash Tragic Love Story 💔
awesome, greetings from Ukraine
313 dislikes? Tom musta had the whole McCannon clan dislike it, extended family included. Damn McCannons.
urban cowboy vibes
You couldn't cram any more trailer trash in this video if you tried. White Trash approved my man. Finely Done.
Can’t turn a whore into a housewife.
Fuck this is a great video to match a GREAT song!!!!
I've been on a binge with this mother fucker. Everyone of his songs are great. You can listen to whole albums and love all the songs. That's rare.
Finally, my soul is set free. Murder ballads. Western!
Form the second this video started I thought of walk the line or Folsom prison blues. 😂
My ex girlfriend, a green haired bitch, was foolin' me all the time... Thought of making her destiny look like Kate McCannon's...
thats a big yikes on you my dude, you dont kill people when they cheat on you bruh
Never been a fan of country seeing i'm a Swedish guy...
...But god damn.
This makes me want to write my own murder song
That shits dark and I love it
Johnny Cash is 0.00000000000000001% of Leonard Cohen , maybe less.
“A story of love gone wrong and a murder ballad all at once, the short film fits the song to a T. It shows how the hard-living lower class can sometimes fall into traps of infidelity and violence, as demonstrated by a wayward young couple.”
Been there man. I feel ya. Except without the jail part lol they never found her. I mean uh. Good song.
Leroy Jenkins lol
Give me a like for every Jew.
did he just kill billie eilish :D
I can feel this in my soul.
Prittiest girl in the whole damn holler
That ain't no lie
Hell yea , I fell in love
Anyone know the names of the two actors?
"got me a job and quit my ramblin"
dude, didn’t you have a job in the mines where you met Tom McCannon?
Also, i dont like the video. He talks about a dark haired daughter but the thot got blue hair. And what about that stupid model-pose face he makes at 1.37? That’s what happens when you choose a couple of dumb models instead of real actors. All these perfect faces give me a vibe of...fake.
The song is very cool by the way

How am I just now seeing this good shit
Best thing since Johnny Cash
Love this guy. His music reminds me of Johnny and waylon.
Why would he go and murder an SNL star like that!
Didn't know they he wrote a song about my wife
absolutely killer video
Let’s be honest. This song is great, but the video is poo-poo
Subscribe to him!
Nothin but chills from this song. Both good and bad. Very well done Colter
You can have Kate. I’ll take the two blondes.
*Goosebumps have entered the chat*
I love this song but I feel it would have a better "feel" to the song to have this set in like the old West or the early, early 1900's.
fuckin' love your music. keep up the good work. you have an amazing voice. it needs to be heard.
Great song but if he was working with her father in the mine why did he need to get a job and quit his rambling?
Blue hair should've tipped you off...dumbass
This is a fu**** masterpiece!
At 1:00 you can hear the faint honk of a snow goose. That my friends is the sound of a Saskatchewan tune.
Wow👏🏼
People that look like this don't live in towns like that.
They’re both such beautiful people
She deserved it
Amazing tune, can't get enough of it.
Hey brother, big fan of yours here, I think you and Ryan Upchurch should collaborate on a country song. I think the two of you would be amazing together. Please make this happen.
Bring back story songwriting
The dark side of the sunnyvale trailer park.
I’m sorry but I dislike this whole music video . I was def disappointed bc I LOVE this song ! Video Didn’t make any lick of sense with this song . Why not have made the setting in 1930s or 40s with a handsome bad boy and a modest beautiful farmers daughter from the country. NOT this broke down theme of modern day trailer park love.
*Marries a thot
*She cheats on him
*Surprised Pikachu face
@Friendly neighborhood Croat pretty sure all these musicians, artists, and poets didn't get famous by writing and singing songs about perfect relationships and never being betrayed by people they cared about...
@MisfitPunish3r You missed my point completly
@Friendly neighborhood Croat pretty sure it's you who's missing something. I have all I need.
@MisfitPunish3r Whatever floats your boat friend.
Pretty much
Thats a voice. DAMN.
oh wow what a wonderful voice.. like a mixture of Johnny Cash and Chris Issac
Goooooood shit man
That hoe be lookin like William Eyelash.
Did ya put the other three rounds into Rico Suave?
i think we all have a Kate Mccannon in our lives at some point
its like the dark version of johnny cash kate
How the fuck has this not gone viral yet. Wtf
This shows a lot more sympathy for the guy (the murderer) than I took from the song. In this she is a lot more broken and seemingly dependent on him, like a child. She is even sucking a lollipop when he first sees her. Very Lolita. Not how I envisioned the story at all. For me she was a free spirit that he couldn't posses so he kills her. The song itself does not imply marriage or any mutual commitment to me. Not saying it is a bad interpretation, but maybe a little more cliche. Amazing, amazing song, though. Can't stop listening to it.
No the song is about her cheating on him, not him being possessive
i cant tell you how many times ive watched this
haha me too I absolutely love it it makes me think of Badlands
so she a hoe?
This is not the song...who the hell wrote this crap...it is a gap commercial...please listen to the song, hear his voice...
I was hoping he sawed her head off.
Whoever produced this mess thanks for f ing up my mental image of this great song.
You're a piece of work, Jim.
Goosebumps every single time i hear this masterpiece!
This version is hot garbage compared to the brewery session and other versions. It's to slow and lacks the bass drum.
The main guy actor is so gosh dang attractive
Watch the swears, Kylee. YouTube is a family site.
princeoftidds my apologies sir
This is by far the best song ever written
