Dese Bones Gonna Rise Again

The Lord he though he'd make a man
Dese bones gonna rise again
Took a little bit of water and a little bit of sand
Dese bones gonna rise again

I know it, brother
I know it, brother
I know it, brother
Dese bones gonna rise again!

He thought he'd make a woman too
Dese bones gonna rise again
Didn't know 'xactly what to do
Dese bones gonna rise again

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

Put 'em in a garden rich and fair
Dese bones gonna rise again
Told 'em they could eat whatever was there
Dese bones gonna rise again

But to one tree they must not go
Dese bones gonna rise again
Must leave the apples there to grow
Dese bones gonna rise again

Serpent, he came 'round the trunk
Dese bones gonna rise again
At miss Eve, his eye he wunk
Dese bones gonna rise again

He said, "Those apples taste mighty fine
Dese bones gonna rise again
Just take one, the Lord won't mind"
Dese bones gonna rise again

De Lord, he came a-wanderin round
Dese bones gonna rise again
Spied dem peelings on de ground
Dese bones gonna rise again

You ate my apples, I believe?
Dese bones gonna rise again
'T wasn't me Lord, I spect twas Eve
Dese bones gonna rise again

The Lord he rose up in his wrath
Dese bones gonna rise again
Told 'em to beat it down the path
Dese bones gonna rise again

He put a angel at the door
Dese bones gonna rise again
Told them not to come no more
Dese bones gonna rise again
