Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Lord he thought he’d make a man,
Dem bones gonna rise again,
Made him out of mud and a little bit of sand,
Dem bones gonna rise again.
Adam was the first he made,
Dem bones gonna rise again,
He put him on the bank and lay him in the shade,
Dem bones gonna rise again.
