She Never Made Old Bones

My old mum would say to me
They'll never make old bones
I couldn't see what she could see
They'll never make old bones
My sister was to heaven sent
Mind corrupted body bent
Was then I knew what mother meant
She never made old bones ooh ooh
She never made old bones

Oh how we wailed and how we moaned
She never made old bones

A young man off he went to war
He'll never make old bones
Did he know what he was fighting for
He'll never make old bones
Killed for country came back home
Post traumatic so alone
Asked for help on the telephone
But he'll never make old bones ooh ooh
He'll never make old bones

He's suffering and so alone
He'll never make old bones

The good die young or so they say
And in the sod where their bodies lay
What mother meant and now I know
They never made old bones

Young girl with an cruel man
She'll never make old bones
Treats her bad because he can
She'll never make old bones
She knows what his right hand is for
He'll say she walked into a door
Unless she leaves forevermore
She'll never make old bones ooh ooh
She'll never make old bones

She must get past the dialling tone
Or she'll never make old bones

The good die young or so they say
And in the sod where their bodies lay
What mother meant and now I know
They never made old bones

Sickness came to my true love
She never made old bones
Three months on she'd had enough
She never made old bones
A broken heart and an empty bed
She was too young my friends all said
I truly know what my mum meant
She never made old bones
She never made old bones

She never made old bones
She never made old bones
Oh how I wailed and how I moaned
She never made old bones

The good die young or so they say
And in the sod where their bodies lay
What mother meant and now I know
They never made old bones

Oh how I wailed and how I moaned
She never made old bones no no
She never made old bones no no no
She never made old bones no no no
She never made old bones

Old bones old bones she never made old bones
Old bones old bones she never made old bones
Old bones old bones she never made old bones
Old bones old bones she never made old bones
