Bury Me Lyrics by The Pine Box Boys

The Feast of Three Arms

0

[Spoken introduction]
Jubal was almost done now. He had one last promise to fulfil. He travelled back to where his momma was buried up on that hill under that, under that lone tree where he had made his vow. He didn't have to dig far before he found her wrapped in a quilt, nothing but bones and the prettiest hand-tailored dress you ever saw, only it had three holes in it near the heart where each hand had took its turn plunging the knife in
He pickеd up those bones so gentlе-like he did, and he placed them into the coffin, and he dug that hole down to about six foot and still all gentle-like, he lowered that coffin down in there
He carved some words in that tree. If you could find it, you could still read them. And then he crawled down in that coffin with his mother's bones and gently wrapped those three arms about him, pulled the lid shut, and he went to sleep
[Chorus]
Bury me in the arms of my ma
How she left me so long ago
And bury me in the arms of my ma
Plant a tree, there it grow
[Verse 1]
In the end, I'll be forgotten
Or condemned and sent to hell
But in the end, I'll be in hot cotton
With my ma I loved so well
[Chorus]
Bury me in the arms of my ma
How she left me so long ago
And bury me in the arms of my ma
Plant a tree, there it grow
[Verse 2]
Keep down, I'm a-sleeping
Keep down, now you behave
And keep down, that's my mama
Step lightly, that's her grave
[Chorus]
And bury me in the arms of my ma
How she left me so long ago
And bury me in the arms of my ma
And plant a tree, there it grow
