AIN'T NO GRAVE

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

Well, I look way down the river

What do you think I see?

I see a band of angels

And they're coming after me

Ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

Well, look down yonder, Gabriel

Put your feet on the land and sea

But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet

Till you hear from me

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

Ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There Ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me

Meet me in the middle of the air

And if these wings don't fail me

I will meet you anywhere

Ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

Well, meet me, mother and father

Meet me down the river road

And mama, you know that I'll be there

When I check in my load

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There ain't no grave

Can hold my body down

There Ain't no grave

Can hold my body down
