Did you know you oncet was mine? But the county took you from me, Said I wasnt right in mind But I just knowd I had to see you Fore these bones was laid to rest So I conjured up a message It musta worked, I guess This gift runs in the family I know you also know And I passed this gift on to you These old bones, theyre just for show These old bones will tell your story These old bones will never lie These old bones will tell you surely How to live and when youll die These old bones, I shake and rattle These old bones, I toss and roll And its all in where they scatter Tells you what the future holds I held her hand while she was dyin And with the funeral through I headed on back up the mountain For Billy, Wink and Blue And that little pouch of burlap With those bones so worn and old She give me somethin special Now every time I throw These old bones will tell your story These old bones will never lie These old bones will tell you surely What you cant see with your eye These old bones, I shake and rattle These old bones, I toss and roll And its all in how they scatter Tells you what the future holds Now I cant tell you what you want to hear I just tell you what I see Its these old bones atalkin Blame it on them; dont pack it on me Its just like that time that there boy died Up at the sawmill Well, I knowd who done it, but I never said And I knowd when somebody is a cheatin Or when somebodys baby was gonna be born dead But unless somebody just plain out and asked me Well, I just figured there aint no point goin around actin like you know everything, just cause you might. Ah, you know girl I want you to take these bones Cause I dont want no youngun of mine agoing around unprepared You just remember that the magic is inside you There aint no crystal ball Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Train, Train, Travelin Prayer, Beautiful Lie, Bluer Pastures, I Dont Believe Youve Met My Baby, I Get A Kick Out Of You, In The Sweet By And By, Little Sparrow, Marry Me, Mountain Angel, Seven Bridges Road, A Tender Lie, After the Gold Rush, Orange Blossom Special, Turn, Turn, Turn, Games People Play, Help!, I Really Dont Want to Know, Just Someone I Used To Know, Last Thing on My Mind, Mule Skinner Blues, Once More, Release Me, Higher & Higher, The House Of The Rising Sun, Feels Like Home, He Rode All the Way to Texas, High Sierra, I Feel the Blues Movin In, Lovers Return, The Blue Train, When Were Gone, Long Gone, A Better Place To Live, Here I Am, She Never Met a Man (She Didnt Like), The Mystery Of The Mystery, The Way I See You, Nickels And Dimes, Sure Thing, The Man, Bobbys Arms, Lovin You, Back Home, Better Part of Life, Daddys Working Boots, Down on Music Row, Dr. Robert F.
