Tombigbee

[Verse 1]

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, caramelise me

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, you do it, man

[Verse 3]

Got a blackberry stain and they're not even in season

If you're not yet a woman you got no business playing this

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, you do it, man

[Bridge]

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 flyover country, back through Mississippi

I said, "Go, man, you go."

But you raise me twenty, I'm raising you five-

Hundred treaties signed by your fathers' lies

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

[Chorus]

Tombigbee, Tombigbee, help me hang these bones

Gotta hang these bones out to dry

He loved me, he loved me, ravishingly low

Gotta hang these bones out to dry

Dry, dry, dry

[Outro]

I'll do it again

Dry, dry, dry
