Here's an interesting comment about this spiritual:

"I thumbed through the book I came across this song [These Bones Gonna Rise Again], which is an old spiritual tune. Something resonated with me as I tried singing it, and the history of the song sounded intriguing. The song had been performed with comic intent for a long time, and was often performed as a parody by university students in the first part of the 20th century."...
