mayhayley's grave - oracle of the ages lyrics

Loading...

[instrumental]

it was 1945
a friend of mine and i
went rolling down that red clay georgia road

we were seeking out
a woman we were told
could help me find my daddy’s stolen gold

cotton in the yard
and a pack of dogs regarded us suspiciously
as we walked up to the door

we were not prepared
for what would happen there
and i held my breath as she called us forth

how much does it cost
to buy the spirits’ time?
what do you pay seers and sages?
she said it’s only
a dollar and a dime
i am the oracle of the ages

shе pointed to the fire
so wе gathered round
and she put on her brother’s hat and took a chair
she spat into the flames
her face began to change
as she stared at something somewhere in the air

she said your cousin stole
the golden prizes see
and then threw it in the river south of here

i never liked that boy
and so i cursed his name
but i wasn’t sure if she was aware

how much does it cost
to buy the spirits’ time?
what do you pay seers and sages?
she said it’s only
a dollar and a dime
i am the oracle of the ages

[instrumental]

my friend and i got up
and were headed towards the door
but she called us back to the fires side

“i ask a dollar for me
and a dime for my dogs
and you boys be careful on that road tonight”
several years ago
the county paved that road
and mayhayley’s gone on to her sweet reward

there was some that claim
she was touched by devils fire
but i know she was a servant of the lord

that’s how much it costs
to buy the spirits’ time
to read from secret hidden pages
she said it’s only
a dollar and a dime
she was the oracle of the ages

[instrumental]
