Chorus:nWell, I knowed it, knowed it nIndeed I knowed it, sister nI knowed it, knowed it nMy bones gonna rise again nnMe and my gal went down to the lake n(My bones gonna rise again) nWe ate hot dogs and chocolate cake n(My bones gonna rise again) nMy wife sat down on a big black snake n(My bones gonna rise again) nLord she never got up, it was too late n(My bones gonna rise again) nn(Chorus) nnWell I asked my gal to ride with me nShe got on and sat on my knee nWe stayed out that night 'til three nI never will be the same as I used to be nn(Chorus)nnIf you want to get to heaven I'll tell you what to do nWell feed your children on mutton stew nRun right up and kick the devil's hand nYou'll ride into the promise land nn(Chorus x2)
