Old As the Hills
Lean in friend Lean in friend And I'll tell you a tale
Be a good friend Be a good friend As I tread the stage awhile
It was late in the day The day after the fair When I heard tell of her
She lived so far away Further, farther and beyond Well, you know that they say
(Chorus:) She was old as the hills And worn as a train On rails of old steel wool She was old as the hills
And her sons were all gone Killed in battle and won By someone above 'stead of coming on home
And her daughters were gone Followed love and they'd run To the city below Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'stead of coming on home
Chorus
She had a bullet in her bonnet The last that she owned And her gun in her pocket To keep her strong when she rode
She went fishing in the shallows For eels and minnows Which she fried up so nicely All salty and spicy
Chorus
And her dog was gone Whom she'd cared for so long They had whiskey and plums On his lavender bed
And her love was gone When he heard the sea's song Left the shore all alone To travel the world around
Chorus x 2
