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 Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right outta the ground Saying ain't no grave gon' keep my body down My wasted years, no, not one will return My wasted days, no, not one will return My wasted hours, one by one I've earned And I hear those shovels a-piling on top of me Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right outta the ground Saying ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Saying oh my Lord, if a blind eye can see Saying oh my God, if a slave can be set free Saying oh my Jesus, if it has no hold on Thee Take my hand, come and wake me from my sleep Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right outta the ground Saying ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Roll away that stone, roll away that stone Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Roll away that stone, roll away that stone Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down Roll away that stone, roll away that stone Said ain't no grave gon' keep my body down
