Subject: Lyr Add: MY BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN From: 12-stringer Date: 08 Mar 07 - 02:55 PM Chorus: I knowed it, knowed it, indeed I knowed it, sister I knowed it, knowed it, my bone's gonna rise again. I asked my gal to ride with me (My bone's gonna rise again) She got right upon my knee (My bone's gonna rise again) We had a good time that night till three (My bone's gonna rise again) But I never will be what I used to be (My bone's gonna rise again). Me and my wife went down to the lake We eat hotdogs and chocolate cake My wife sat down on a long blacksnake When she got up it was too darn late. A hen and a rooster on the pole so hot A romping and a playing all in their lot The rooster looked at the hen's top knot, Said "Come here, sister, let's see what you got." One day I went out to get A billygoat whose name was Pet And one day that goat I met Right on the place where I used to set. Dave (McCarn) & Howard (Long), "My Bone's Gonna Rise Again." Victor 23577, recorded 19 May 1931, Charlotte, NC. I only know this from an LP dub, not the original shellac, but Tony Russell's CMR 1921-1942 indicates the apostrophe is sic in the 78 title label. |

Subject: Lyr Add: DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN From: wysiwyg Date: 08 Mar 07 - 04:28 PM From a link in one of the previously-crosslinked threads. Looks to me like a minstrel song. ~Susan 1. Lord he thought he'd make a man Dem bones gonna rise again Took a little water, took a little sand Dem bones gonna rise again Chorus: I know it, know it, Indeed I know it - Brother, I know it, Whee! Dem bones gonna rise again. 2. Put him in that garden fair Dem bones gonna rise again Saw him mighty lonely there Dem bones gonna rise again 3. Took a rib from Adam's side Dem bones gonna rise again Made Miss Eve to be his bride. Dem bones gonna rise again. 4. Put them in that garden fair Dem bones gonna rise again Saw them mighty happy there. Dem bones gonna rise again 5. Apples, peaches, pears and such Dem bones gonna rise again But one fruit you must not touch. Dem bones gonna rise again 6. Round that tree old Satan slunk Dem bones gonna rise again At Miss Eve his eye he wunk. Dem bones gonna rise again 7. My that fruit looks mighty fine Dem bones gonna rise again Take a bite, the Lord won't mind. Dem bones gonna rise again 8. So she took a pick and she took a pull Dem bones gonna rise again Then she filled her apron full. Dem bones gonna rise again 9. Next day when the Lord came round Dem bones gonna rise again Saw those cores all over the ground. Dem bones gonna rise again 10. Adam, Adam, where art thou? Dem bones gonna rise again Here I am Lord, coming now! Dem bones gonna rise again 11. Adam who these cores did leave? Dem bones gonna rise again Wasn't me Lord, must a been Eve. Dem bones gonna rise again 12. Adam you must leave this place Dem bones gonna rise again Earn your bread by the sweat of your face. Dem bones gonna rise again 13.

This is the end, there ain't no more Dem bones gonna rise again Eve got the apple, Adam got the core. Dem bones gonna rise again 15. Moral of the story be Dem bones gonna rise again Don't leave your cores for the Lord to see. Dem bones gonna rise again |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: These Bones Gonna Rise Again From: Azizi Date: 27 Sep 09 - 01:59 PM Here's an interesting comment about this spiritual: "I thumbed through the book I came across this song [These Bones Gonna Rise Again], which is an old spiritual tune. Something resonated with me as I tried singing it, and the history of the song sounded intriguing. The song had been performed with comic intent for a long time, and was often performed as a parody by university students in the first part of the 20th century."... http://www.jack-cooper.com/oldsite/bones.html ** Here's a link to a YouTube video of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnGHWcrk4oQ The Seekers These Bones Are Gonna Rise Again |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: These Bones Gonna Rise Again From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 27 Sep 09 - 02:29 PM There are questions about this rather theatrical song, another version in the DT, linked at the top of this thread, having ever part of the old spiritual songs. It does not seem to be one of the old spirituals, but originally a minstrel jubilee song, like some composed by Bland (Scott composition posted above, 1880). The one from Saint Helena (posted today), "O Lord, dese bones of mine," and the "Dry Bones" in the DT, from "Mellows," coll. by Kennedy, are typical of those sung in the Black churches and are spirituals in the old sense. Of course both Blacks and Whites, as entertainers, and gospel singers, long ago adopted "Dese Bones...," so it is now a religious as well as a 'popular' song, and included in collections of spiritual songs. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: These Bones Gonna Rise Again From: GUEST,TL Date: 26 Apr 10 - 07:55 AM I'm looking for a song similar to this - but different! It was on an old "red" record (yes - the record itself was red) of mum's. The line I remember in the chorus is ".....Ezekiel 37 10 These old bones are gonna wake up walking These old bones are gonna rise again!" Any ideas anyone? TL |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: These Bones Gonna Rise Again From: GUEST,Sharon Date: 30 Dec 10 - 05:02 PM Chorus: This I know by the Bible These old bones are gonna rise again These old bones are gonna rise again These old bones are gonna rise again Ezekiel said it in the Bible chapter 37:10, These old bones are gonna wake up walking These old bones are gonna rise again. Verse: 1. My dear brother faint and feeble My dear sister weak and worn We're gonna wind up in the bone yard Just as sure as we were born This old world may toss and tumble This old world may rock and roll But come that Resurrection morning We are gonna take a stroll. 2. Now in that Resurrection valley When the Lord commands the way And He breathes new life eternal In these old bones again All the saints will wake up singing And we'll all join in the victory throng To a land beyond the river To a life that has no end. |
