Roll Dem Bones


Shine, shine, shine 'em up fine,
Shine 'em up fine for a dime!
Shine, shine, shine 'em up fine,
Shine 'em up fine for a dime!
My baby needs a new pair of shoes!
Come on, you seven! Roll you 'leven!
And he won't get 'em if I lose!
Hop up, you 'leven! Roll you 'leven!

Roll, roll, roll dem bones,
Roll dem in de square,
Roll dem on de sidewalk,
Streets or anywhere!
We roll dem in de morning,
We roll dem in de night
Oh, we roll dem bones de whole day long
When de cops are out of sight!

Traditional close-harmony folk song
Now in public domain

This was used in an old cartoon I remember but I can't find it.
