Lean in friend[00:00:16]
Lean in friend[00:00:20]
And I'll tell you a tale[00:00:26]
Be a good friend[00:00:32]
Be a good friend[00:00:36]
As I tread the stage awhile[00:00:41]
It was late in the day[00:00:47]
The day after the fair[00:00:51]
When I heard tell of her[00:00:56]
She lived so far away[00:01:02]
Further, farther and beyond[00:01:06]
Well, you know that they say[00:01:12]
She was old as the hills[00:01:17]
And worn as a train[00:01:22]
On rails of old steel wool[00:01:26]
She was old as the hills[00:01:30]
And her sons were all gone[00:01:33]
Killed in battle and won[00:01:38]
By someone above[00:01:41]
Stead of coming on home[00:01:45]
And her daughters were gone[00:01:48]
Followed love and they'd run[00:01:53]
To the city below[00:01:57]
Stead of coming on home[00:02:00]
She was old as the hills[00:02:03]
And worn as a train[00:02:08]
On rails of old steel wool[00:02:12]
She was old as the hills[00:02:16]
She had a bullet in her bonnet[00:02:19]
The last that she owned[00:02:23]
And her gun in her pocket[00:02:27]
To keep her strong when she rode[00:02:30]
She went fishing in the shallows[00:02:34]
For eels and minnows[00:02:38]
Which she fried up so nicely[00:02:42]
All salty and spicy[00:02:45]
She was old as the hills[00:02:49]
And worn as a train[00:02:54]
On rails of old steel wool[00:02:57]
She was old as the hills[00:03:01]
And her dog was gone[00:03:05]
Whom she'd cared for so long[00:03:09]
They had whiskey and plums[00:03:13]
On his lavender bed[00:03:16]
And her love was gone[00:03:20]
When he heard the sea's song[00:03:24]
Left the shore all alone[00:03:28]
To travel the world around[00:03:31]
She was old as the hills[00:03:35]
And worn as a train[00:03:39]
On rails of old steel wool[00:03:43]
She was old as the hills[00:03:47]
