Brother, can you listen in my ear
Bones in ninety years
Bones in ninety years
Momma, put your hands into my hands
I took all I could stand
I took all I could stand
And Daddy, will you look me in my eye
When momma does, when momma does
When momma
Sister, can you speak into my mouth
Whisper in my mouth
Our ship is headed south
And Momma, turn your hands into my hands
Twist your ankles in the sand
Up to your eyes and ears
Just like you planned
And Daddy, will you look in my spine
Wonder what will you find
Is your baby boy alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
All right
