Could swear I've typed this in the past but can't find it in a cursory search, so, hot dog, let 'er go: My Bone's Gonna Rise Again as sung by Dave (McCarn) and Howard (Long), Victor 23577, recorded 19 May 1931 in Charlotte, NC. McCarn plays harmonica and guitar and undoubtedly composed the song, which would no longer be welcome at a church picnic. (chorus) I knowed it, knowed it, indeed I knowed it, sister I knowed it, knowed it, my bone's gonna rise again. I asked my gal to ride with me (My bone's gonna rise again) She got right upon my knee (My bone's gonna rise again) We had a big time that night till three (My bone's gonna rise again) But I never will be what I used to be (My bone's gonna rise again) Me and my wife went down to the lake We eat hot dogs and chocolate cake My wife sat down on a long black snake When she got up it was too darn late A hen and a rooster on the pole so hot A romping and a playing all in their lot The rooster looked at the hen's top knot "Come here, sister, let me see what you got" One day I went out to get A billy goat whose name was Pet And one day that goat I met Right on the place where I used to set [sic]
