Sally Bones Lyrics

I'm just an orphan girl
From Alice Springs
My name is Sally Bones
When I was 13
I ran away
From a hell that I called home
I met him by a garbage bin
Stoking the fire
I needed warmth from the cold
You were so much older than me
But I didn't care
Cause I knew you loved me so

On my 15th birthday
You gave me a ring
From the two-dollar machine
We got married
And moved to the creek
It wasn't all that it seemed

I should be 16 now
But I'm as light as a featherCatherine Britt - Sally Bones - http://motolyrics.com/catherine-britt/sally-bones-lyrics.html
I should be 16 now
Yeah I'll haunt you forever
You won't eat, you won't think, yeah I'll drive you insane
I'll make sure that you won't, ever sleep again

You buried my fragile bones
Underneath the bridge
You thought no one would ever know
Thought you could get away
With blood on your hands
Cause no one cares about Sally Bones

I should be 18 now
But I'm as light as a feather
I should be 18 now
Yeah I'll haunt you forever
You won't eat, you won't think, yeah I'll drive you insane
I'll make sure that you won't, ever sleep again

I'm just an orphan girl
From Alice Springs
My name is Sally Bones
