Dese Bones G'Wine Rise Again
The Seekers Lyrics

Well the Lord He thought he'd make a man
God decided to create a man

Dese bones are gonna rise again
The creation of mankind will persevere through good and bad times

Made them out of mud and a little bit of sand
God made humans out of the earth

Lord I knew it didn't I know it?
This concept of creation is something that is known and expected

The Lord He thought he'd make a woman too
God thought that it would be good to create a female

But He didn't know exactly what to do
God was not sure how to proceed with creating a woman

So He took a rib from Adam's side
God created Eve with one of Adam's ribs

And He made Miss Eve for to be his bride
Eve was created to be Adam's wife

Put 'em in the garden fine and fair
Adam and Eve were placed in a beautiful garden

He said You eat whatever is there
God permitted Adam and Eve to eat everything present in the garden

But there's one tree you must not touch
God instructed Adam and Eve not to eat from one particular tree

'Cause I want them apples for my lunch
God wanted the fruit from the tree for Himself

Eve she took a little pull
Eve consumed the forbidden fruit

And then she filled her apron full
After eating the fruit, Eve gathered more

And Adam took a little slice
Adam also ate from the fruit

He smacked his lips and said It's nice
Adam enjoyed the taste of the fruit

The Lord He came a-snoopin' round
God came to check on Adam and Eve

And He saw the apple core on the ground
God found evidence of Adam and Eve's disobedience

And the Lord He spoke in a monstrous voice
God spoke with great power and intensity

And He shook this world to its very joints
God caused the world to tremble with His power

Oh Adam Adam where art thou?
God called out to Adam

O'er here Massa Lord I'se comin' now
Adam responded to God's call

Well stole my apples I believe
God found that someone had taken the fruit from the forbidden tree

Oh no Massa Lord I 'spect was Eve
Adam blamed Eve for the disobedience

Well out of this garden you must get
God banished Adam and Eve from the garden

When you're livin' by your sweat
Adam and Eve would have to work hard to survive

And He put an Angel at the door
God placed an angel to guard the entrance to the garden

And He said You never come back no more
God forbid Adam and Eve from ever returning to the garden

Well all this song there ain't no more
The song is about to end

Oh Eve ate the apple and Adam ate the core
Adam and Eve both ate the forbidden fruit, leading to their banishment from the garden

Dese bones are gonna rise
Despite the challenges faced by mankind, they will continue to persevere and survive

Dese bones are gonna rise again
The human race will continue to exist and overcome obstacles

Lord I knew it didn't I know it?
The concept of humanity persevering is something that is known and expected

Lord I knew it didn't I know it?
The idea that mankind will continue to thrive in the face of adversity is not surprising

Dese bones are gonna rise again
The song concludes with a repetition of the idea that humanity will continue to persevere.
