old as the hills
Singer:tiny ruins
as i tread the stage awhile
on rails of old steel wool
and her sons were all gone
and her daughters were gone
followed love and they'd run
on rails of old steel wool
she had a bullet in her bonnet
and her gun in her pocket
to keep her strong when she rode
she went fishing in the shallows
which she fried up so nicely
on rails of old steel wool
whom she'd cared for so long
they had whiskey and plums
when he heard the sea's song
to travel the world around
on rails of old steel wool
