Cain't No Grave Hold My Body Down

Can't no grave hold my body down

Can't no grave hold my body down

Y'know when the first trumpet sound, I'm gonna get up out of the ground

Can't no grave hold my body down

It was early one morning, just about the break of day

The angel came from glory and rolled the stone away

But when the women came along, and they found that the savior was gone

You know can't no grave hold my body down

[Instrumental break]

I want you to go yonder, Gabriel

Stand on the land and the sea

But I don't want you to blow that trumpet Gabriel

Until you get an answer from me

I want you to blow blow blow blow blow

Blow blow blow blow blow

Can't no grave hold my body down, no no no

Can't no grave, you know, hold my body down, I'm gonna rise one morning

Can't no grave hold my body down, woah yes

When that first, first trumpet, don't you know I'm gonna get up, get up off the ground

Can't no grave hold my body down

Can't no grave hold my body down

Well well well, can't no grave hold my body down

Can't no grave hold my body down

Can't no grave hold my body down
