Sam Jones |
Me name is Sam Jones and it’s bones me occupation |
Chuck your old hocks out for my consideration |
Thirty years a bone man, up and down the nation |
Sam Jones deliver them bones |
I’ve been among the shamrock and I’ve been among the thistle |
I like it all picked over, clean as a whistle |
No sign of meat on, no sign of gristle |
Sam Jones deliver them bones |
I’ve seen battlefields white with human ivory |
Noble dukes and princes stripped of flesh and finery |
When the crows have done their job, they say that’s the time for me |
Sam Jones deliver them bones |
And I even dream of bones when I’m lying very ill |
Roomsfull of skeletons a-dancing the quadrille |
Rows and rows of skulls singing Blueberry Hill |
Sam Jones deliver them bones |
And if you’re unburied, the likes of me will find you |
You’re no good to worms, but you might become the finest glue |
We’ll grind you up and spread you out as fertiliser, too |
Sam Jones deliver them bones |
And I’ve got a lorry, it’s me own boneshaker |
Where’s there old knuckle joints I’ll be the undertaker |
I’ll come calling 'round just like the butcher and the baker |
Sam Jones deliver them bones |
Me name is Sam Jones and it’s bones me occupation |
Chuck your old hocks out for my consideration |
Thirty years a bone man, up and down the nation |
Sam Jones deliver them bones |
Oh, Sam Jones deliver them bones |
Sam Jones deliver them bones |
