Bones

Oh, child when you are weary
Weary deep down in your soul
Hear my voice rolling like a river
I won’t ever leave you alone

Ain’t no chain gonna hold you down
Ain’t no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday dun came and gone
Ain’t it time to bury them bones

Oh, child when you’re in darkness
Them devils circling around
Don’t you go thinking it’s hopeless
Takes some getting lost to be found

Ain’t no chain gonna hold you down
Ain’t no grave gonna hold you now
Yesterday dun came and gone
Ain’t it time to bury them bones

Take me down to the river
Wash me clean in the water
