Dem Bones (Gonna Rise Again)

The lord He thought He'd make a man
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
So he took a little water and he took a little sand
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

Now Adam he was terribly blue
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
He didn't know exactly what to do
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

So the lord took a rib from Adam’s side
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And He made Miss Eve to be his bride
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

He put them in a garden fair
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
He thought they'd be most happy there
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

Apples, peaches, pears and such
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
But of this tree you must not touch
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

Now Eve took a walk by the tree one day
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And a serpent popped up in her way
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

"Now, Eve, this fruit tastes mighty fine"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
"Just take one, the lord won't mind"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

So Eve took a pick and then took a pull
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And then she filled her apron full
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

Now Adam and Eve they tried to hide
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
But the lord looked down, and them he spied
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

"Now Adam you must leave this place"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
"And earn your livin' by the sweat of your face"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

I knowed it knowed it, indeed I knowed it camper
I knowed it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

So Adam took a pick and then took a plow
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And that's why we're all workin' now!
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
