    EPIGRAPH: Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!" Oh hear the word of the Lord. Oh those bones, oh those bones, Oh those skeleton bones. With the toe bone connected To the foot bone, And the foot bone connected To the anklebone, And the anklebone connected To the leg bone! Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!" Oh those bones, oh those bones, Oh those skeleton bones. Oh those bones, oh those bones, Oh mercy how they scare! Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!" With the leg bone connected To the knee bone, And the knee bone connected To the thigh bone, And the thigh bone connected To the hip bone. Oh mercy how they scare! Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun' Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun' Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun' Oh hear the word of the Lord!
