Ain't No Grave • Traditional

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I’m gonna get up out of the ground

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Oh, well, look down yonder Gabriel

Look down on land and see

But Gabriel don’t you blow that trumpet

Until you hear from me

Oh I looked on down the river

Well do you think I see

I see a band of angels lord

They’re coming after me

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I’m gonna get up out of the ground

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Oh I’m going down to Jordan

I’m going to bury my knees in the sand

I’m going to holler out johsanna

I’m going to reach that promised land

So now meet me Jesus meet me

Yeah, meet me in the middle of the air

And if these wings won’t carry me

I won’t need another pair.

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I’m gonna get up out of the ground

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Oh there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

No there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I’m gonna get up out of the ground

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Ain’t gonna hold my body down

Ain’t gonna hold my body down

Ain’t gonna hold my body down

Ain’t gonna hold my body down
