Sing "Dem Bones Gonna Rise Again" after each line of every verse:

God He thought He'd make a man,

Dem bones gonna rise again!
He made Adam accordin' to plan.

Dem bones gonna rise again!

CHORUS

I know it, brother

Yes, I know it brother,

Oh I know it, brother

Dem Bones gonna rise again!

Thought He'd make a woman too.
God he knew just what to do.
- Chorus

Took a rib from Adam's side.
For to make Miss Eve, his bride.

- Chorus

Put 'em in a garden fair.
Told 'em to eat what they found there.
- Chorus

All except one special tree,

God said leave that tree for me.

-Chorus

One day Eve was walking 'round
Spied that tree all loaded down.
- Chorus

Serpent crawling up that trunk.
At Miss Eve, his eye he wunk.

- Chorus

Eve, she gave that fruit a pull.
Then she filled her fig leaf full.
- Chorus

Adam took a little bite.
Said "mmm-mmm that sure is nice."

- Chorus

Next day God was walkin' around.
Spied them peels all on the ground.
- Chorus

God He used his mighty voice.
Shook the heavens right to its joists.

- Chorus

"Adam, don't you hide from me!"
"I ain' hiding, I'm right here - see?"
- Chorus

"Adam, did you eat from my tree?"
"No massa Lord, it musta been Eve."

- Chorus

Then the Lord rose up in his might wrath,
"Ya'll just beat it down the path."
- Chorus

Put an angel at the door.
"Ya'll don't come 'round here no more."

- Chorus

Eve took needle, Adam, the plow.
That's why we're all working now.
- Chorus

To this tale there ain't no more.
Go on now and do your chores!

- Chorus

The video has slightly different lyrics, but it tells the same story!
