Leave the Riches

Leave the riches, take the bones.
I'm ready

to be robbed. I'm ready
for your thieving hand, leave

the riches, take the bones.

Leave the linens,takes the bones;
I'm ready

to undress. I will become
a breathing man;

leave the linens, take the bones.

Oh, take those clothes from him.
Let him go.

Leave the riches, take the bones.

I'm ready to undress.

I will become a breathing man;
leave the linens, take the bones.

Oh, take those clothes from him;

(Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice.)

Oh, take those clothes from him.
