Dolly Parton[00:00:05]

These old bones will tell your story[00:00:05]

These old bones will never lie[00:00:08]

These old bones will tell you surely[00:00:11]

What you can't see with your eye[00:00:14]

These old bones[00:00:16]

I shake and rattle[00:00:17]

These old bones[00:00:19]

I toss and roll[00:00:20]

And it's all in where they scatter[00:00:22]

Tells you what the future holds[00:00:25]

Oh she lived up on the mountain[00:00:29]

Eleven miles or so from town[00:00:31]

With a one-eyed cat named[00:00:34]

Wink A billy goat and a blue tick hound[00:00:36]

Her graying hair was braided[00:00:39]

And wrapped around her head[00:00:42]

And her dress was long and faded[00:00:45]

And her home a rusty shed[00:00:48]

In a little pouch of burlap[00:00:52]

Tied with a piece of twine[00:00:54]

There were bones all shapes and sizes[00:00:57]

Gathered through the course of time[00:01:00]

She'd throw them out before you[00:01:02]

She swore that she could see[00:01:05]

The present past and future[00:01:08]

She could ready your destiny[00:01:10]

Everybody knew about her[00:01:15]

Came to get their fortune read[00:01:17]

Concerning health and wealth and power[00:01:20]

Who to love and when to wed[00:01:23]

Well I just like helpin' people[00:01:26]

I'm just glad that[00:01:28]

I could help[00:01:29]

Why I know everybody's secrets[00:01:31]

But I keep it to myself[00:01:33]

These old bones will tell your story[00:01:37]

These old bones will never lie[00:01:40]

These old bones will tell you surely[00:01:43]

What you can't see with your eye[00:01:45]

These old bones[00:01:48]

I shake and rattle[00:01:49]

These old bones[00:01:51]

I toss and roll[00:01:52]

And it's all in where they scatter[00:01:54]

Tells you what the future holds[00:01:57]

Some called her witchy woman[00:02:00]

Some said she was insane[00:02:03]

Some said she was a prophet[00:02:06]

Still everybody came[00:02:09]

Just because a body's different[00:02:11]

Well that don't make 'em mad[00:02:14]

Well they've crucified a many[00:02:17]

For the special gifts they've had[00:02:19]

I had often heard about her[00:02:23]

Dreamed about her now and then[00:02:26]

For I too was clairvoyant[00:02:28]

Came about when[00:02:31]

I was tenI was fascinated with her[00:02:32]

And the things[00:02:37]

I'd heard about[00:02:37]

And I knew some day[00:02:39]

I'd meet her[00:02:41]

And one day it came about[00:02:42]

Well I know'd that you 'uz a'comin'[00:02:46]

I could feel it in my bones[00:02:49]

These old bones have also told me[00:02:51]

That I won't be here for long[00:02:54]

Did you know that you 'uz adopted[00:02:57]

Did you know you once't was mine[00:02:59]

But the county took you from me[00:03:02]

Said I wasn't right in mind[00:03:05]

But I just know'd[00:03:08]

I had to see you'[00:03:09]

Fore these bones was laid to rest[00:03:11]

So I conjured up a message[00:03:14]

It must'a worked[00:03:17]

I guessThis gift runs in the family[00:03:20]

I know you also know[00:03:22]

And I passed this gift on to you[00:03:25]

These old bones they're just for show[00:03:27]

These old bones will tell your story[00:03:31]

These old bones will never lie[00:03:34]

These old bones will tell you surely[00:03:37]

How to live and when you'll die[00:03:39]

These old bones[00:03:42]

I shake and rattle[00:03:43]

These old bones[00:03:45]

I toss and roll[00:03:46]

And it's all in where they scatter[00:03:48]

Tells you what the future holds[00:03:51]

I held her hand while she was dyin'[00:03:54]

And with the funeral through[00:03:57]

I headed on back up the mountain[00:04:00]

For Billy[00:04:03]

Wink and Blue[00:04:03]

And that little pouch of burlap[00:04:05]

With those bones so worn and old[00:04:08]

She give me somethin' special[00:04:11]

Now every time[00:04:13]

I throwThese old bones will tell your story[00:04:16]

These old bones will never lie[00:04:18]

These old bones will tell you surely[00:04:21]

What you can't see with your eye[00:04:24]

These old bones[00:04:26]

I shake and rattle[00:04:27]

These old bones[00:04:29]

I toss and roll[00:04:30]

And it's all in how they scatter[00:04:32]

Tells you what the future holds[00:04:34]

Now I can't tell you what you want to hear[00:04:37]

I just tell you what[00:04:41]

I seeIt's these old bones a'talkin'[00:04:42]

Blame it on them don't pack it on me[00:04:46]

It's just like that time that there boy died[00:04:50]

Up at the sawmill[00:04:53]

Well I know'd who done it but[00:04:54]

I never said[00:04:56]

And I know'd when somebody is a cheatin'[00:04:58]

Or when somebody's baby was gonna be born dead[00:05:01]

But unless somebody just plain out and asked me[00:05:04]

Well I just figured there ain't no point goin' around actin' like you know everything just 'cause you might[00:05:08]

Ah you know girl[00:05:16]

I want you to take these bones'[00:05:17]

Cause I don't want no young'un of mine a'going around unprepared[00:05:19]

You just remember that the magic is inside you[00:05:24]

There ain't no crystal ball[00:05:28]
