Lyrics for Shakespeare's Sister

Young bones groan and the rocks below say Throw your skinny body down, son But I'm going to meet the one I love So please don't stand in my way Because I'm going to meet the one I love No, mama, let me go Young bones groan and the rocks below say Throw your white body down But I'm going to meet the one I love At last, at last, at last I'm going to meet the one I love La de da, la de da No, mama, let me go No, no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no I thought that if you had an acoustic guitar Then it meant that you were a protest singer Oh, I can smile about it now But at the time it was terrible No, mama, let me go No, no, no No, no, no
