Dem Bones:

CHORUS:
I knowed it, knowed it, indeed I knowed it brother,
I knowed it - WHEE - dem bones gonna rise again.

Lordy thought he'd make a man
Dem bones gonna rise again,
He took a bit of water and he took a bit of sand
Dem bones gonna rise again.

CHORUS

Took a rib from Adam's side
Dem bones gonna rise again
Made Miss Eve to be his bride!
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

Put them in a garden fair
Dem bones gonna rise again
Thought they'd be most happy there
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

Apples, peaches, pears, and such
Dem bones gonna rise again
But one fruit you must not touch!
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

Round that tree old Satan slunk
Dem bones gonna rise again
At Miss Eve his eye he wunk.
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

My that fruit looks mighty fine
Dem bones gonna rise again
Take a bite, the Lord won't mind!
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

She took a pick, she took a pull
Dem bones gonna rise again
And then she filled her apron full
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

Next day when the Lord came round
Dem bones gonna rise again
He spied them cores all over the ground!
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

Adam, Adam, where art thou?
Dem bones gonna rise again
"Here Ise Lord, coming now!"
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

Adam who these cores did leave?
Dem bones gonna rise again
Wasn't me Lord, must a been Eve.
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

Adam you must leave this place
Dem bones gonna rise again
Earn your keep by the sweat of your face
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

He took a pick, he took a plow
Dem bones gonna rise again
And that's why we're all working now!
Dem bones gonna rise again

CHORUS

The moral of this story be
Dem bones gonna rise again
Don't leave those cores for the Lord to see!
Dem bones gonna rise

CHORUS
