Songtext Bones bones Greg Brown

Bones bones

I gotta get up and move around
It's a long way up and a short way down

I got bones bones, old bones, stiff old bones

I'm creaking and groan like and oak tree lent
That strong young fellow, what happened to him?

I got bones bones, old bones, stiff old bones

I'm looking at the garden by the light of the moon
Looking at the dirt where I'm going pretty soon

I got bones bones, old bones, stiff old bones

Well we can cry or we can smile
But it's all just one big cowpokes pile

I got bones bones, old bones, stiff old bones

I'll never be tired of looking at you
I got a stiff old bone, baby what you wanna do?

I got bones bones, old bones, stiff old bones

Well some days slow, some days fast
I got a tiny little feature and a great big past

I got bones bones, old bones, stiff old bones

Stiff old bones
Stiff old bones
