Ain't No Grave (Gonna Hold This Body Down)
(*Claude Ely) [** Originally recorded by Ely in 1953:]
There ain't no grave Can hold my body down There ain't no grave Can hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right out of the ground Ain't no grave Can hold my body down
Well, look way down the river And 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 Until you hear from me
There ain't no grave Can hold my body down 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
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
