I'm doing this from memory and i haven't listened to the Ramblers' CD in years, but this is pretty close. I was looking for the exact lyrics myself to sing the song at camp. Here's the best I can do from memory.

VALLEY OF THE DRY BONES

Ezekiel was in the valley all the Lord's days,
God told Ezekiel to prophesize
I said "Hear the word of the Lord."

He told Ezekiel as the son of man to preach the Gospel to the sinful man.
The people of Israel, they got so wicked God he said I'll call Ezekiel,
Said "Hey Ezekiel come prophesize. The wicked man was born to die."
He put Ezekiel in the valley of the bones, said "Hear the word of the Lord."

The head bone's connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone's connected to the shoulder bone,
The shoulder bone's connected to the backbone,
So hear the word of the Lord.

The backbone's connected to the....
So hear the word of the Lord.
