A Stone, a Bone and a Piece of Turf
A stone, a bone and a piece of turf promise me, Corbie, all I deserve,
tell me who my love will be,
fly to the town or over the sea.
A stone, a bone and a piece of turf fly off, Corbie, to the ends of the earth,
fly to the south and gather the sun,
then bring me my bright and only one.
A piece of turf, a stone and a bone each picked and weighed, aimed and thrown,
each Candlemas since I was grown tell me, Corbie, what you have known.
A stone, a piece of turf and a bone I stand here hoping, all alone,
I stand here thinking of all that I’ve thrown each piece of turf, each stone, each bone.
A stone, a bone and a piece of turf
will mark the end of my time on this earth,
will mark my grave when I die alone a piece of turf, a stone and a bone
Do you remember me?
1. Do Lord, Oh do Lord, oh do you remember me ? x3
As way beyond the blue
2. I got a house in Glory Land that outshines the sun x 3
Way beyond the blue....
3. I cried/prayed and I cried until I found my Lord x 3
Up way beyond the blue
