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 told me raw Ginger,
carmelize 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
got a blackberry stain
and they're not even in season
if you're not yet a woman
you've 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
gotta hang these bones out to dry
so you get done
then you get some
should have known it won't hold you for long
then you say fine
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
who made you go
but you raise me twenty
i'm raising you five
hundred treaties signed by your father's lies
who made you go
'cause im trailing her tears
the ones you wont hold
you roll me a carpet, boy
roll me a carpet, boy
roll me a carpet from here to Oklahoma
tombigbee, tombigbee
help me hang this bone,
gotta hang this bone out to dry
he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly loved
gonna hang this bone to dry
