Chorus:
Well, I knowed it, knowed it
Indeed I knowed it, sister
I knowed it, knowed it
My bones gonna rise again
Me and my gal went down to the lake
(My bones gonna rise again)
We ate hot dogs and chocolate cake
(My bones gonna rise again)
My wife sat down on a big black snake
(My bones gonna rise again)
Lord she never got up, it was too late
(My bones gonna rise again)
(Chorus)
Well I asked my gal to ride with me
She got on and sat on my knee
We stayed out that night 'til three
I never will be the same as I used to be
(Chorus)
If you want to get to heaven I'll tell you what to do
Well feed your children on mutton stew
Run right up and kick the devil's hand
You'll ride into the promise land
(Chorus x2)
