Lord he thought he'd make a man
Dem bones gonna rise again
Took a little water, took a
little sand
Dem bones goona rise again
Chorus:
I know it, know it, indeed I
know it-
brother, I know it, Whee! Dem
bones gonna rise again.
Put him in that garden fair
Dem bones . . .
Saw him mighty lonely there
Dem bones . . .
Took a rib from Adam's side
made Miss Eve to be his bride.
Put them in that garden fair
Saw them mighty happy there.
Apples, peaches, pears and such
But one fruit you must not touch.
Round that tree old Satan slunk
At Miss Eve his eye he wunk.
My that fruit looks mighty fine
Take a bite, the Lord won't
mind.
So she took a pick and she took
a pull
Then she filled her apron full.
Next day when the Lord came round
Saw those cores all over the
ground.
Adam, Adam, where art thou?
Here I am Lord, coming now!
Adam who these cores did leave?
Wasn't me Lord, must a been
Eve.
Adam you must leave this place
Earn your bread by the sweat
of your face.
So he took a pick and he took
a plow
And that's why we're all singing
now.
This is the end, there ain't
no more
Eve got the apple, Adam got
the core.
Moral of the story be
Don't leave your cores for the
Lord to see.
