[Verse] Well the lord he thought he’d make a man Dese bones are gonna rise again Made them out of mud and a little bit of sand Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] The lord he thought he’d make a woman too Dese bones are gonna rise again And he didn’t know exactly what to do Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] So he took a rib from Adam’s side Dese bones are gonna rise again And he made Miss Eve for to be his bride Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] Put ’em in the garden fine and fair Dese bones are gonna rise again He said "You eat whatever is there" Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] "But there’s one tree you must not touch" Dese bones are gonna rise again "’Cause I want them apples for my lunch" Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] Adam took a little bite Dese bones are gonna rise again He smacked his lips and said it’s nice Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] Then Eve she took a little pull Dese bones are gonna rise again And then she filled her apron full Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] And the lord he came a-snooping round Dese bones are gonna rise again And he saw that apple core on the ground Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] And the lord he spoke in a monstrous voice Dese bones are gonna rise again And he shook this world to its very joints Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] "Well stole my apples I believe" Dese bones are gonna rise again "Oh no massa lord I ’spect was Eve" Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] "Out of this garden you must git" Dese bones are gonna rise again "Oh when you’re living by your sweat" Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] And he put an angel at the door Dese bones are gonna rise again And he said "You never come back no more" Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again [Verse] Of this song there ain’t no more Dese bones are gonna rise again Eve ate the apple and Adam ate the core Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again [Chorus] Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again Lord now I knew it didn’t I know it? Dese bones are gonna rise again
