NOTES: "Dese Dry Bones of Mine" is a traditional spiritual collected from Old Plantation Hymns by William Eleazar Barton in 1898.
In Old Plantation Hymns by William Eleazar Barton (1898) he describes collecting the spiritual:
The resurrection is a favorite theme in these songs, and its figures are well supplied by Ezekiel's vision. Among them is one that is very simple in its movement, starting with plain quarter notes in 4:4 movement, but growing irregular in the refrain, and using with effect a syncopation on, "An' a Lawd," and bringing in a strong upward swing on the long first syllable couplets which make up the stanzas of "mawnin'."
