To you it's another day
To me it's a grim reaping
Just another shooting star
Strung down your wire
Prick my finger
On his virgin silver
He told me raw Ginger
Caramelize me
Tombigbee, Tombigbee
Help me hang these bones
Gotta hang these bones out to dry
He loved me, he loved me, ravishingly loved
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 loved
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
When you say right
This is all mine
But hasn't your donor card expired
From blue ridge 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
Who made 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 loved
Gonna hang these bones out to dry
Dry, dry, dry, I'll do again
Dry, dry, dry
