There ain't no grave 
Can hold my body down 
There ain't no grave 
Can hold my body down 

When I hear that [bad word] 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 
What do you think I see 
I see a band of angels 
And [bad word] after me 

There ain't no grave 
Can hold my body down 
There ain't no grave 
Can hold my body down 

We'll look down younder Gabriel 
Put your feet on the land and see 
But Gabriel don't blow your [bad word] 
Till you hear from me 

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 

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
