Bones

Oh, child when you are weary

Weary deep down in your soul

Hear my voice rolling like a river

I won’t ever leave you alone

Ain’t no chain gonna hold you down

Ain’t no grave gonna hold you now

Yesterday dun came and gone

Ain’t it time to bury them bones

Oh, child when you’re in darkness

Them devils circling around

Don’t you go thinking it’s hopeless

Takes some getting lost to be found

Ain’t no chain gonna hold you down

Ain’t no grave gonna hold you now

Yesterday dun came and gone

Ain’t it time to bury them bones

Take me down to the river

Wash me clean in the water
