1. Oh young children don’t be shamed 
  Dese bones shall rise again 
We’ll To deny you Father’s name, 
  Dese bones shall rise again; 
Judgement day is rollin’ round, 
  Dese bones shall rise again, 
When de gospel trumpet it shall sound, 
  Dese bones shall rise again.

CHORUS [sung after each verse]
Den I know, I do know childen, 
I know dat dese bones shall rise again, 
Den I know, I do know childen, 
I know dat dese bones shall rise again.

2. Some dese mornins bright and fair 
  Dese bones shall rise again 
I’se meet de Lord up in de air, 
  Dese bones shall rise again 
I know my back’s chock full ob sin, 
  Dese bones shall rise again 
I know Uncle Pete’s gwine to let me in, 
  Dese bones shall rise again. 

3. Come ye children go wid me 
  Dese bones shall rise again 
Gwine whar de Lord will sot us free, 
  Dese bones shall rise again 
I’ll shake de dust right off my feet, 
  Dese bones shall rise again 
And Walk up and down dem golden streets,
  Dese bones shall rise again.
