Chorus:
I know it brother brother,
Indeed I know it brother, I know it HEY!
Dem bones gonna rise again
The lord he thought he'd make a man.
DEM BONES WILL RISE AGAIN!
So he made Adam cordin' to a plan.
DEM BONES WILL RISE AGAIN!
Repeat chorus:
Thought he'd make a woman too.
The Lord didn't know just what to do.
Took a rib from Adam's side.
For to make Miss Eve, his bride.
Repeat chorus
Put 'em in a garden wide and fair.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Told 'em to eat what they found there.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Peaches, pears, plums and such.
Dem bones gonna rise again
But the apple tree you better not touch.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
One day Miss Eve was walking around
Dem bones gonna rise again
.Spied that tree all loaded down.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Serpent crawling around that trunk.
Dem bones gonna rise again
At miss Eve, his eye he wunk.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Eve, she just took a little pull.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Then she filled her fig leaf full.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Adam, he just took a little bite.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Said um'um woman that sure am nice.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
One day the Lord was walking around.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Spied them peels all over the ground.
Dem bones gonna rise again
