Dead Man's Will lyrics

Give this stone to my brother
Because we found it playing in the barnyard
Many years ago
 
Give this bone to my father
He'll remember hunting in the hills
When I was ten years old
 
May my love reach you all
I lost it in myself and buried it too long
Now that I come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone
 
Give this string to my mother
It pulled the baby teeth
She keeps inside the drawer
 
Give this ring to my lover
I was scared and stupid not to ask
For her hand long before
 
May my love reach you all
I lost it in myself and buried it too long
Now that I come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone
