Give this stone to my brother    Because we found it playing in the barnyard    Many years ago       Give this bone to my father    He'll remember hunting in the hills    When I was ten years old       May my love reach you all    I lost it in myself and buried too long   Now that I come to fall    Please say it's not too late    Now that I'm dead and gone       Give this string to my mother    It pulled the baby teeth    She keeps inside the drawer       Give this ring to my lover    I was scared and stupid not to ask    For her hand long before       May my love reach you all    I lost it in myself and buried too long   Now that I come to fall    Please say it's not too late    Now that I'm dead and gone
