The noble duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And marched them down again.

And when up, you're up
And when you're down you're down
And when you're only halfway up
You're neither up nor down.
(when you say up, stand up;
when you say down, sit down;
and when you say halfway up you crouch )

This is sung as a round.

Lord made a garden fine and fair.
Dem bones gonna rise again.
Made Mr. Adam and put him there.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Refrain:
I knows it knows it
Indeed I knows it, brother.
I knows it, wee
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Lord took a rib from Adam's s ide.
Dem bones gonna rise again.
Made Miss Eve for to be his bride.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Put them in a garden fair.
Dem bones gonna rise again
He thought they'd be so happy there.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Refrain

Apples, peaches, bananas and such.
Dem bones gonna rise again.
All that fruit you dazen't touch.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Refrain

Serpent crawled around a trunk.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Dem bones gonna rise again.

Refrain

See those apples fine and fair.
Dem bones gonna rise again.
Take just one, the Lord won't care.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Refrain

Eve took a pick and then a pull.
Dem bones gonna rise again.
Then she filled her apron full.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Refrain

Adam, who done done this deed?
Dem bones gonna rise again.
Wasn't me Lord, must have been Eve.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Refrain

Adam you must leave this place.
Dem bones gonna rise again.
Earn your living by sweating your face.
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Adam took a pick and plow
Dem bones gonna rise again.
And that's why we're all workin now
Dem bones gonna rise again.

Refrain

Get your elbows off the table <name of person with elbows on>
Get your elbows off the table <name of person with elbows on>
We've seen it once or twice and it isn't very nice,
Get your elbows off the table <name of person with elbows on>
Round the table you must go, you must go, you must go Round the table you must go, you were naughty,
Back around the other way, other way other way,
Back around the other way you were naughty.
