Dear Bob,
This one?
"Old bones inside an old raincoat
Old bones inside of old shoes
Old friends at the hotel
Come by to wish me well
And keep me up to date on all the old news"
Sung by George Burns.
(And Bob Ringwald.)

Or the Dolly Parton one?
"These old bones will tell your story
These old bones will never lie
These old bones will tell you surely
What you can?t see with your eye
These old bones, I shake and rattle
These old bones, I toss and roll
And it?s all in where they scatter
Tells you what the future holds"

This request came up on the DJML some years ago, as I recall.
Yes, it did.
On 7-8 July 2010 and again on 3 May 2011 and involved Jim O'Briant, Steve Heist, Don Kirkman, Bruce Stangeland and you.
Whether the sheet music eventually turned I do not know.
Rae-Ann also provided a video of you performing it with Fulton Street:

It will all be in the DJML Archives.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
