Those Poor Bastards
These Bones Are Gonna Rise Again
Gody (?) thought He'd make a man
These bones are gonna rise again
Made them out of mud and a little bit of sand
These bones are gonna rise again
Adam was the first one that he made
These bones are gonna rise again
He put them on a bank and he laid him in the shade
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
Thought He'd made a woman too
These bones are gonna rise again
Did not know exactly what to do
These bones are gonna rise again
So he took a rip from Adam's side
These bones are gonna rise again
Made Miss Eve for a bit his bride
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
Put them in a garden rich and fair
These bones are gonna rise again
Told them they may eat whatever was there
These bones are gonna rise again
But to one tree they must no go
These bones are gonna rise again
Must leave the apples there to grow
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
Oh Miss Eve came walking around
These bones are gonna rise again
Spied the tree or low it down
These bones are gonna rise again
Serpent coiled around the trunk
These bones are gonna rise again
At Miss Eve his eye he want*
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
First she took a little poor
These bones are gonna rise again
Then she feeled* her apron fall
These bones are gonna rise again
Then she took Adam a slice
These bones are gonna rise again
He smacked his lips and said it was nice
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
The Lord, He came a-wondering around
These bones are gonna rise again
He spied them apples pieces on the ground
These bones are gonna rise again
The Lord, He spoke with a powerful voice
These bones are gonna rise again
Shocked this a-world to the very (?)
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
Adam, Adam, where art thou?
These bones are gonna rise again
Here, Master Lord, I'm coming now
These bones are gonna rise again
Stole my apples, unbelievable
These bones are gonna rise again
No, Master Lord, but I suspect it was Eve
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
The Lord, He rose up in his raft
These bones are gonna rise again
Told them-
You beat it down this path
These bones are gonna rise again
Out of this garden you must get
These bones are gonna rise again
And you're living by your sweat
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
He put an angle at the door
These bones are gonna rise again
Told them not never come back there no more
These bones are gonna rise again
Of this tale there ain't no more
These bones are gonna rise again
? the apples and gave them to the ?
These bones are gonna rise again
I knew it. Dear, I knew it
These bones are gonna rise again
