Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
A
Ezekiel cried, “Them dry bones,” (repeat twice)
“Now hear the word of the Lord.”
B
The toe bone connected to the heel bone,
The heel bone connected to the foot bone,
The foot bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the head bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!
C
Them bones, them bones, gonna walk around (repeat twice)
Oh hear the word of the Lord!
