CHICKENBONE (Konrad Lenz)
	Bare bones and a big straw hat Black cat with a broken back Yellow sky I put my britches on Gray goose flys on into the sun   Gray goose and the walkinjg dead Mother's saving hard for a feather bed I was young then in the afternoon Taken to the hospital in 42   I'm withered old not after long I'll die down here in the old folks home As I walked and as I roamed I rode the river to the catacomb   My body's burnt and my mind is old I've been bought and I've been sold Play slide guitar down by the river bank Blind lemon I've got to thank   The dogs are barking. My girl is dead I shot a hole in her with a piece of lead Land of the brave and of the free Look at what you gave to me   Now I'm old and I'm left alone I chew all the meat off of a chicken bone The sky is clear. The wind is still I'll sell my life story and drink my fill.   Buttermilk with a stick of gum Jimmie laughs but I'm feeling so glum Old Dan Tucker, he got so drunk Shot his rifle and he lost a chunk   There's a sickness here, I need a hand Take me deep there into the holy land I'll sing to you if you'll live with me Like when we were young   I'll sniff my snuff and reel and rock I'll break my jaw on the candy rock I'll rock my body to and fro It's to that bright land I'm a gonna go   1998
