tombigbee (2023 Remaster) Songtext
von Tori Amos

To you, it′s another day
To me, it's a grim I′m a-reaping
Just another shooting star
Strung down your wire

Prick my finger
On his virgin silver
He told me, "Raw ginger
Caramelize me"

Tombigbee, Tombigbee
Help me hang these bones
Gotta hang these bones out to dry
He loves me, he loved me
Ravishingly low
Gonna hang these bones out to dry
Dry, dry, dry
Oh, you're the man

Got a blackberry stain
And they're not even in season
If you′re not yet a woman, you got no business playing this


Tombigbee, Tombigbee
Help me hang these bones
Gotta hang these bones out to dry
He loves me, he loved me
Ravishingly low
Gonna hang these bones out to dry
Dry, dry, dry
Oh, you′re the man

And so you get done
Then you get some
Sure enough, won't hold you for long
And when you say ride
This is all mine
But, oh, hasn′t your donor card expired?

From Blue ridge to Cattail, you're on the prairie
From fly over country back to Mississippi, I said, "Go, a man, you go"
But you raise me 20, I′m raising you five
Hundred treaties signed by your fathers' lies
Go, man, you go

′Cause I'm trailing her tears, the ones you won't hold
You roll me a carpet
Roll me a carpet, boy
Roll me a carpet from here to Oklahoma, ooh


Tombigbee, Tombigbee
Help me hang these bones
Gotta hang these bones out to dry
He loves me, he loved me
Ravishingly low
Gonna, gonna hang these bones to dry
Dry, dry, dry

I′ll do it again
Dry, dry, dry
