Lyrics

[00:16.70] Lean in friend
[00:20.57] Lean in friend
[00:26.07] And I'll tell you a tale
[00:32.23] Be a good friend
[00:36.25] Be a good friend
[00:41.11] As I tread the stage awhile
[00:47.38] It was late in the day
[00:51.27] The day after the fair
[00:56.97] When I heard tell of her
[01:02.69] She lived so far away
[01:06.00] Further, farther and beyond
[01:12.49] Well, you know that they say
[01:17.67] She was old as the hills
[01:22.30] And worn as a train
[01:26.24] On rails of old steel wool
[01:30.22] She was old as the hills
[01:33.95] And her sons were all gone
[01:38.35] Killed in battle and won
[01:41.78] By someone above
[01:45.49] 'stead of coming on home
[01:48.25] And her daughters were gone
[01:53.09] Followed love and they'd run
[01:57.09] To the city below
[02:00.81] 'stead of coming on home
[02:03.59] She was old as the hills
[02:08.52] And worn as a train
[02:12.45] On rails of old steel wool
[02:16.25] She was old as the hills
[02:19.97] She had a bullet in her bonnet
[02:23.82] The last that she owned
[02:27.63] And her gun in her pocket
[02:30.05] To keep her strong when she rode
[02:34.98] She went fishing in the shallows
[02:38.93] For eels and minnows
[02:42.75] Which she fried up so nicely
[02:45.81] All salty and spicy
[02:49.36] She was old as the hills
[02:54.10] And worn as a train
[02:57.92] On rails of old steel wool
[03:01.70] She was old as the hills
[03:05.63] And her dog was gone
[03:09.30] Whom she'd cared for so long
[03:13.09] They had whiskey and plums
[03:16.81] On his lavender bed
[03:20.52] And her love was gone
[03:24.45] When he heard the sea's song
[03:28.09] Left the shore all alone
[03:31.82] To travel the world around
[03:35.69] She was old as the hills
[03:39.56] And worn as a train
[03:43.19] On rails of old steel wool
[03:47.21] She was old as the hills
