Sam jones

Richard Thompson

Composed by: Richard Thompson
Me name is Sam Jones and it's bones me occupation 
Chuck your old hocks out for my consideration 
Thirty years a bone man, up and down the nation 
Sam Jones deliver them bones 

I've been among the shamrock and I've been among the thistle 
I like it all picked over, clean as a whistle 
No sign of meat on, no sign of gristle 
Sam Jones deliver them bones 

I've seen battlefields white with human ivory 
Noble dukes and princes stripped of flesh and finery 
When the crows have done their job, they say that's the time for me 
Sam Jones deliver them bones 

And I even dream of bones when I'm lying very ill 
Roomsfull of skeletons a-dancing the quadrille 
Rows and rows of skulls singing Blueberry Hill 
Sam Jones deliver them bones 

And if you're unburied, the likes of me will find you 
You're no good to worms, but you might become the finest glue 
We'll grind you up and spread you out as fertiliser, too 
Sam Jones deliver them bones 

And I've got a lorry, it's me own boneshaker 
Where's there old knuckle joints I'll be the undertaker 
I'll come calling 'round just like the butcher and the baker 
Sam Jones deliver them bones 

Me name is Sam Jones and it's bones me occupation 
Chuck your old hocks out for my consideration 
Thirty years a bone man, up and down the nation 
Sam Jones deliver them bones 
Oh, Sam Jones deliver them bones 
Sam Jones deliver them bones
