 TORI AMOS - Tombigbee Lyrics

strung out on your wire
To you it's another day

To me it's a grim reaping
n10,2359j214122n,,13,
prick my finger
Just another shooting star
on his virgin silver
Strung out on your wire
he took me raw, Ginger -

it carmelized me
Prick my finger

On his virgin silver
Tombigbee, Tombigbee
He told me raw
help me hang these bones
Ginger, carmelize me
gotta hang these bones out to dry

he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low
Tombigbee, tombigbee
gonna hang these bones out to dry
Help me hang these bones,
dry, dry, dry
Gotta hang these bones out to dry

He loved me, he loved me, ravishingly loved
oh, you do it, man
Gonna hang these bones out to dry


Got a blackberry stain
Got a blackberry stain
and they're not even in season
And they're not even in season
if you're not yet a woman
If you're not yet a woman
you got no business playing at this
You've got no business playing at this


Tombigbee, Tombigbee
Tombigbee, tombigbee
help me hang these bones
Help me hang these bones,
gotta hang these bones out to dry
Gotta hang these bones out to dry
he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low
He loved me, he loved me, ravishingly loved
gonna hang these bones out to dry
Gotta hang these bones out to dry
dry, dry, dry


So you get done
oh, you do it, man
Then you get some

Should have known
so you get done
It won't hold you for long
then you get some
Then you say fine
sure enough, it won't hold you for long
This is all mine
then you say right.
But hasn't your donor card expired
this is all mine
From blue ridge to cattail
but hasn't your donor card expired
On the prairie
from Blueridge to Cattail
From fly-over country
on the prairie
Back through mississippi
from fly over country
Who made you go
back through Mississippi
But you raise me twenty

I'm raising you five
I said go, man you go
A hundred treaties
well you raise me twenty
Signed by your father's lies
I'm raising you five
Who made you go
hundred treaties signed by your father's lies
Cause I'm trailing her tears

The ones you won't hold
just go man, you go
You roll me a carpet, boy
cause I'm trailing her tears
Roll me a carpet, boy
the ones you won't hold
Roll me a carpet
you roll me a carpet
From here to Oklahoma
roll me a carpet, boy

roll me a carpet from here to Oklahoma
Tombigbee, tombigbee

Help me hang this bone,
Tombigbee, Tombigbee
Gotta hang this bone out to dry
help me hang this bone
He loved me, he loved me, ravishingly loved
gotta hang these bones out to dry
Gonna hang this bone to dry
he loved me, he loved me, ravishingly, low
Dry, dry, dry
gonna hang these bones out to dry
I'm doin it dry, dry, dry
to dry, dry, dry



I'll do again
