AND IN OLD GEEZER FASHION..........when I play with my folk trio, "Over and Out" we end the evening with.....
"Old Bag of Bones":
Ken's hands talk to him when its ready to rain,
He had his medication and is feeling no pain,
When he gets like this he just feels like talking
He took some shrapnel in Viet Nam
Sometimes his mind seems gone, gone, gone
You gotta watch him then, or he'll take off walking
Chorus:
Well this old bag of bones ain't really me
There's a a lot more standing here than what you see
My back is bending low, but my spirit's flying free
And this old bag of bones ain't really me
Jim lives each day like its his last
Time won't keep, it goes so fast
He tries to do the best that he can do
He says life's a tune you whistle in the dark
When you get it right, you get a little spark
And the sun comes up and it dawns on you
Chorus....
These old bags of bones ain't really us
There's a lot more standing here than some old crust
Our feet are bond below, but our spirits are star-dust
And these old bags of bones ain't really us......
And that old bag of bones ain't really you!
Thank you very much for listening to us!
That's Jim, he's "Over."
That's Ken, he's "Out!"
And I'm Ralph, and I'm both over the hill and out to pasture with both of 'em!
