Rattlin' Bones

Smoke don’t rise

Fuel don’t burn

Sun don’t shine no more

Late one night, sorrow come round

Scratching at my door

But I cut my hands

And break my back

Draggin’ this bag of stones

Till they bury me down, beneath the ground

With the dust and rattlin’ bones

[Shane] Left my home and left my love

[Kasey] Caught on a rusty nail

[Shane] Devil rose up, heavy with gold

[Kasey] My soul’s not for sale

[Shane] Then a holy man in a house of God

[Kasey] He offered me a book of prayer

[Shane] And when I left my home I left my love

[Both] I left my faith back there

Smoke don’t rise

Fuel don’t burn

Sun don’t shine no more

Late one night, sorrow come round

Scratchin’ at my door

But I cut my hands

And break my back

Draggin’ this bag of stones

Till they bury me down, beneath the ground

With the dust and rattlin’ bones

[Shane] Shuttin’ my eyes and hang my head

[Kasey] Darkness makes no sound

[Shane] Climb it up, bottom there

[Kasey] Earth’s on the way back down

[Shane] When a sadness falls on the morning bird

[Kasey] Wonder what the day will bring

[Shane] But I’m shuttin’ my eyes and hang my head

[Both] At least that bird can sing

Smoke don’t rise

Fuel don’t burn

Sun don’t shine no more

Late one night, sorrow come round

Scratchin’ at my door

But I cut my hands

And break my back

Draggin’ this bag of stones

Till they bury me down, beneath the ground

With the dust and rattlin’ bones

Till they bury me down, beneath the ground

With the dust and rattlin’ bones
