Ain't No Grave Lyrics

I dreamt I died, no longer could I see

I dreamt I died, no longer could I see

I dreamt I died, no longer could I see

But I heard my woman a-wailing over me

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna rise up outta the ground

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

My wasted years, no not one will return

My wasted days, no not one will return

My wasted hours, no not one will return

And I hear those shovels a-piling on top of me

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna rise up outta the ground

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

Oh my Lord—if a blind eye can see

Oh my God—if a slave can be set free

Oh my Jesus—if it has no hold on thee

Take my hand—come and wake me from my sleep

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I'm gonna rise up outta the ground

Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

Roll away that stone

Roll away that stone

Ain't no grave gonna

Keep my body down
