Tiny Ruins – Old As The Hills lyrics
Lean in friend
Lean in friend
And I'll tell you a tale
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
'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
Lean in friend
And I'll tell you a tale
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
'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
