<span class="feat">(originally by Claude Ely)</span><br>

<br>

There ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

There ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

<br />

When I hear that trumpet sound<br />

I'm gonna rise right out of the ground<br />

Ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

<br />

Well, look way down the river<br />

And what do you think I see<br />

I see a band of angels<br />

And they're coming after me<br />

<br />

Ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

There ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

<br />

Well, look down yonder, Gabriel<br />

Put your feet on the land and sea<br />

But Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet<br />

Until you hear from me<br />

<br />

There ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

Ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

<br />

Well meet me, Jesus, meet me<br />

Meet me in the middle of the air<br />

And if these wings don't fail me,<br />

I will meet you anywhere<br />

<br />

Ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

There ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

<br />

Well meet me, Mother and Father,<br />

Meet me down the river road<br />

And Mama, you know that I'll be there<br />

When I check in my load<br />

<br />

Ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

There ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down<br />

There ain't no grave<br />

Can hold my body down

<br><br><br><br>
