lyrics

Old sick Ted
Confined to his bed
Disease running through his body and his head
But the woman down the lane
Gathered up some cane
And mixed up a medicine that killed all the pain
That’s why Ted is still with us today
We won't be losing him until
He’s a hundred and twenty-eight

Great Aunt Marie
A lively one, she
But the years made it hard for the dear one to breathe
But the huasache had power
With its bark and flower
To give her new life
And make the sickness cower
And that’s why Marie is still with us today
We won't be losing her until
She’s a hundred and twenty-eight

Let’s sing of Mr. Hayes
Who spends all his days
Out in the sun where the rattler plays
But would you believe
The ash tree leaves
That he shoves in his boots
Keep him snake bite free?
And that’s why Mr. Hayes is still with us today
We won't be losing him until
He’s a hundred and twenty-eight

And that’s why they’re all still with us today
We won't be losing them until
They’re a hundred and twenty-eight
