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
 A 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, 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
 Dry, dry, dry
 I'm doin it dry, dry, dry... 
 
 End.
