Ain't No Grave - The Handsome Family

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold this body down

Well there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold this body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

Gonna get up out of the ground

Cause there ain’t no grave

Gonna hold this body down

Go down yonder Gabriel

Place your foot on the land and sea

But don’t you blow that trumpet now

Until you hear from me

(Repeat Chorus)

I said look way over Jordan

What do you think I’d see

I saw a band of holy angels

And they’re comming after me I cried…

Meet me meet me Jesus

Meet me in the middle of the air

I’m gonna rise to meet my Lord

And say goodbye down here

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

One day they’ll carry me out to the graveyard

Like my grandma like my grandpa

But don’t cry for me.

don’t cry for me

Cause on the ressurection morning

We’ll all get up out of the ground

(Repeat Chorus)
