Dem Dry Bones

There are countless versions of this song. It's supposed to be gospel, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out someday that it's two or three thousand years old!

Ezekiel connected dem dry bones
Ezekiel connected dem dry bones
Ezekiel connected dem dry bones
Don't you hear the word of the Lord?


Your toe bone connected to your foot bone,
Your foot bone connected to your ankle bone,
Your ankle bone connected to your leg bone,
Your leg bone connected to your knee bone,
Your knee bone connected to your thigh bone,
Your thigh bone connected to your hip bone,
Your hip bone connected to your back bone,
Your back bone connected to your shoulder bone,
Your shoulder bone connected to your neck bone,
Your neck bone connected to your head bone,
Don't you hear the word of the Lord?

Disconnect dem bones, dem dry bones
Disconnect dem bones, dem dry bones
Disconnect dem bones, dem dry bones
Don't you hear the word of the Lord?


Your head bone connected to your neck bone,
Your neck bone connected to your shoulder bone,
Your shoulder bone connected to your back bone,
Your back bone connected to your hip bone,
Your hip bone connected to your thigh bone,
Your thigh bone connected to your knee bone,
Your knee bone connected to your leg bone,
Your leg bone connected to your ankle bone,
Your ankle bone connected to your foot bone,
Your foot bone connected to your toe bone.

Don't you hear the word of the Lord?

By the bye: I first heard this song in the last episode of the classic 6Os series 'The Prisoner'.
