 Send "Ship Of Gold" Ringtone to your Cell 

 (Fallon, Gaster, Maines, Sult)
Tin shacks and catfish bones have been about all
I've ever known.
The junebugs rattle and roll all around the old
maypole.
Thunder and lightning, the catfish are biting.
I took a river boat downstream. I think you know
what I mean.
The chicken hawks they are gathering. Above my
head they are circling.
Old friends coming out visiting say hi and talk
about collecting.
Stray dogs won't come near me. Was blind, now I
see clearly.
Believe I'm fixing to die. When you're living in
the country it's, "why, oh
why?"
Oh, I'm sorry that I left my home. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry that I left my home. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Look over yonder there on the farther shore, on
the farther shore.
Look over yonder there. I see a ship of gold, I
see a ship of gold.
Beyond that mountain there I see a
Citty-on-a-Hille.
Its gates are open wide. I hear the ringing
bells.
Look over yonder there on toward the burying
ground.
Poor boy is all a fire. Poor boy is dead and
gone. Oh, poor boy is dead and
gone.
One of these days the Ship of Gold will carry me
to my reward.
Out of this world it will take me to hear the
horns of Jubilee.
Pig fat and old pork rinds ain't enough to keep a
man alive.
The bullfrog sleeps all day. Come night he has
his say.
Believe I'm fixing to die. Believe I'll take my
rest.
Believe I'm fixing to die. Believe I'll take my
rest.
Oh, I'm sorry that I left my home. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry that I left my home. Oh. Oh. Oh.
