《These Old Bones》歌词

[00:00:05] Dolly Parton

[00:00:05] These old bones will tell your story

[00:00:08] These old bones will never lie

[00:00:11] These old bones will tell you surely

[00:00:14] What you can't see with your eye

[00:00:16] These old bones

[00:00:17] I shake and rattle

[00:00:19] These old bones

[00:00:20] I toss and roll

[00:00:22] And it's all in where they scatter

[00:00:25] Tells you what the future holds

[00:00:29] Oh she lived up on the mountain

[00:00:31] Eleven miles or so from town

[00:00:34] With a one-eyed cat named

[00:00:36] Wink A billy goat and a blue tick hound

[00:00:39] Her graying hair was braided

[00:00:42] And wrapped around her head

[00:00:45] And her dress was long and faded

[00:00:48] And her home a rusty shed

[00:00:52] In a little pouch of burlap

[00:00:54] Tied with a piece of twine

[00:00:57] There were bones all shapes and sizes

[00:01:00] Gathered through the course of time

[00:01:02] She'd throw them out before you

[00:01:05] She swore that she could see

[00:01:08] The present past and future

[00:01:10] She could ready your destiny

[00:01:15] Everybody knew about her

[00:01:17] Came to get their fortune read

[00:01:20] Concerning health and wealth and power

[00:01:23] Who to love and when to wed

[00:01:26] Well I just like helpin' people

[00:01:28] I'm just glad that

[00:01:29] I could help

[00:01:31] Why I know everybody's secrets

[00:01:33] But I keep it to myself

[00:01:37] These old bones will tell your story

[00:01:40] These old bones will never lie

[00:01:43] These old bones will tell you surely

[00:01:45] What you can't see with your eye

[00:01:48] These old bones

[00:01:49] I shake and rattle

[00:01:51] These old bones

[00:01:52] I toss and roll

[00:01:54] And it's all in where they scatter

[00:01:57] Tells you what the future holds

[00:02:00] Some called her witchy woman

[00:02:03] Some said she was insane

[00:02:06] Some said she was a prophet

[00:02:09] Still everybody came

[00:02:11] Just because a body's different

[00:02:14] Well that don't make 'em mad

[00:02:17] Well they've crucified a many

[00:02:19] For the special gifts they've had

[00:02:23] I had often heard about her

[00:02:26] Dreamed about her now and then

[00:02:28] For I too was clairvoyant

[00:02:31] Came about when

[00:02:32] I was tenI was fascinated with her

[00:02:37] And the things

[00:02:37] I'd heard about

[00:02:39] And I knew some day

[00:02:41] I'd meet her

[00:02:42] And one day it came about

[00:02:46] Well I know'd that you 'uz a'comin'

[00:02:49] I could feel it in my bones

[00:02:51] These old bones have also told me

[00:02:54] That I won't be here for long

[00:02:57] Did you know that you 'uz adopted

[00:02:59] Did you know you once't was mine

[00:03:02] But the county took you from me

[00:03:05] Said I wasn't right in mind

[00:03:08] But I just know'd

[00:03:09] I had to see you'

[00:03:11] Fore these bones was laid to rest

[00:03:14] So I conjured up a message

[00:03:17] It must'a worked

[00:03:20] I guessThis gift runs in the family

[00:03:22] I know you also know

[00:03:25] And I passed this gift on to you

[00:03:27] These old bones they're just for show

[00:03:31] These old bones will tell your story

[00:03:34] These old bones will never lie

[00:03:37] These old bones will tell you surely

[00:03:39] How to live and when you'll die

[00:03:42] These old bones

[00:03:43] I shake and rattle

[00:03:45] These old bones

[00:03:46] I toss and roll

[00:03:48] And it's all in where they scatter

[00:03:51] Tells you what the future holds

[00:03:54] I held her hand while she was dyin'

[00:03:57] And with the funeral through

[00:04:00] I headed on back up the mountain

[00:04:03] For Billy

[00:04:03] Wink and Blue

[00:04:05] And that little pouch of burlap

[00:04:08] With those bones so worn and old

[00:04:11] She give me somethin' special

[00:04:13] Now every time

[00:04:16] I throwThese old bones will tell your story

[00:04:18] These old bones will never lie

[00:04:21] These old bones will tell you surely

[00:04:24] What you can't see with your eye

[00:04:26] These old bones

[00:04:27] I shake and rattle
