Refrain:
O Lord, these bones of mine.
O Lord, these bones of mine.
O Lord, these bones of mine,
Coming together in the morning.

1. I looked at my hand, my hand looked new.
Coming together in the morning.
I looked at my foot, it looked so, too.
Coming together in the morning.

2. What kind of shoes are those you wear?
Coming together in the morning.
That you may walk upon the air?
Coming together in the morning.

3. If you get there before I do,
Coming together in the morning.
Look out for me, I'm coming, too.
Coming together in the morning.
