DEM BONES??? The leg bone's connected to the...? LYRICS?

[ksbo...@amherst.bitnet]

I am in desperate need for the lyrics to the song called DEM BONES.

At least that's what I think it's called. You all know it:

"The leg bone's connected to the...hip bone.
The hip bone's connect to the...back bone.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem, ???? bones."

Well it goes something like that, anyway. If anyone knows what the real lyrics
are to this song, or even what it is really called and/or who sings it, could
you please e-mail me? I do NOT read this newsgroup, so e-mail is the only way
you'll get in touch with me.

Thanks!

I heard it once, at the Cambridge Folk Festival, years ago. The chorus
goes:

Dem bones dem bones dem ]pause[ dryyyyy bones
Dem bones dem bones dem ]pause[ dryyyyy bones
Ohhhh lordy dem bones

Well the toe bone connects to the foot bone,
Aand the foot bone connects to the shin bone
And the shin bone connects to the knee bone
And the knee bone connects to the thigh bone
Oh lordy dem bones

The song makes its way up to the head bone, and I think I remember
that there is some humour involved with both the pelvic region, and
the brain bone. I would be very grasteful for posted additions or
corrections. So would my girlfriend, its a favourite bedtime song.
