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
