| Lyrics: | 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. (all sing DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN! after each line) So he made Adam accordin' to a plan. (all - DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN) Thought he'd make a woman too. (all - DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN) The Lord didn't know just what to do. (all - DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN) - Chorus Took a rib from Adam's side. For to make Miss Eve, his bride. Put 'em in a garden wide and fair. Told 'em to eat what they found there. - Chorus Peaches, pears, plums and such. Dem bones gonna rise again One day Miss Eve was walking around Spied that tree all loaded down. - Chorus Serpent crawling around that trunk. At miss Eve, his eye he wunk. Eve, she just took a little pull. Then she filled her fig leaf full. - Chorus Adam, he just took a little bite. Said "um um woman that sure am nice." One day the Lord was walkin' around. Spied them peels all over the ground. - Chorus The Lord cried out in his mighty voice. That shook the heavens to the joists. Cried, "Adam, Adam, Where art though?" "Here I is Lord, I's comin' now." - Chorus "Adam, Adam, did you eat these?" "No massa Lord, I 'spect it was Eve." Then the Lord rose up in his might wrath, Said, "Ya'll just beat it down the path." - Chorus Put an angel at the door. Said, "Ya'll don't come 'round here no more." Eve took the needle, Adam took the plow. That's why we're all working now. - Chorus To this tale there ain't no more. Eve got the Apple, and Adam got the core. - Chorus |
