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 -

it carmelized me

Tombigbee, Tombigbee

help me hang these bones

gotta hang these bones out to dry

he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low

gonna hang these bones out to dry

dry, dry, dry

oh, you do it, man

Got a blackberry stain

and they're not even in season

if you're not yet a woman

you got no business playing at this

Tombigbee, Tombigbee

help me hang these bones

gotta hang these bones out to dry

he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low

gonna hang these bones out to dry

dry, dry, dry

oh, you do it, man

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

well you raise me twenty

I'm raising you five

hundred treaties signed by your father's lies

just 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 this bone

gotta hang these bones out to dry

he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low

gonna hang these bones out to dry

to dry, dry, dry

I'll do again
