Lyrics

Rattlin' Bones
written by Donald Ray Fischer


This hot blue steel, that I hold in my hand
In a pool of blood lies a dying man
Oh mother please won't you weep for me
I'm surely damned for all eternity

chorus:
Woah Woah Woah Woah Hear them rattlin' bones
Hey Hey Hey Hey I think it's time we pray
Woah Woah Woah Woah Feel the room get cold
Hey Hey Hey Hey Must be the judgement day

I feel the hand of death it's got me by the neck
Oh don't let 'em take me Lord it's not my time yet
I know a wasted time is a terrible sin
And I'd do it all different Lord if I could do it again

They say that spirits hover all around our heads
Little bits of soul and memory gathered from our dead
I know at times I swear they were 'bout to take shape
If it wasn't for my fear and will power that kept them in their graves
