tombigbee |
| To you it’s another day |
| To me it’s a grim reaping |
| Just another shooting star |
| Strung out on your wire |
| Prick my finger |
| On his virgin silver |
| He took me raw, ginger |
| Caramelize me |
| Tombigbee, Tombigbee, help me hang these bones |
| Got to hang these bones out to dry |
| He loved me, he loved me, ravishingly low |
| Got to hang these bones out to dry |
| Dry, dry, dry |
| Got a blackberry stain |
| And they’re not even in season |
| If you’re not yet a woman |
| You got no business playing this |
| Tombigbee, Tombigbee, help me hang these bones |
| Got to hang these bones out to dry |
| He loved me, he loved me, ravishingly low |
| Got to hang these bones out to dry |
| Dry, dry, dry |
| So you get done |
| Then you get some |
| Sure enough it won’t hold you for long |
| Then you say, «Right |
| This is all mine» |
| But hasn’t your donor card expired? |
| From Blueridge to Cattail on the prairie |
| From fly over country, back through Mississippi |
| I said, «go, man you go» |
| But you raise me twenty, I’m raising you five- |
| Hundred treaties signed by your fathers' lies |
| Go, man, you go |
| 'Cause I’m trailing her tears, the ones you won’t hold |
| You roll me a carpet, roll me a carpet, boy |
| Roll me a carpet from here to Oklahoma |
| Tombigbee, Tombigbee, help me hang these bones |
| Got to hang these bones out to dry |
| He loved me, he loved me, ravishingly low |
| Got to hang these bones out to dry |
| Dry, dry, dry |
| I’ll do it again |
| Dry, dry, dry, dry |
