Ain't No Grave Lyrics

by Tom Jones

[Chorus:]
Ain't no grave gonna hold this body down
There ain't no grave gonna hold this body down
When I hear the trumpet sound
Gonna get up outta the ground
Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold this body down

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e34611-tom_jones~aint_no_grave_lyrics.html ]
You said go down yonder Gabriel
Place your foot on the land and sea
But don't you blow that trumpet until you hear from me

[Chorus]

Oh, look way over Jordan
What do you think I see
I saw a band of Holy Angels and they're comin' after me
I cried meet me Jesus meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord and I'll say goodbye down here

[Chorus]

One day if they carry me out to the graveyard
Like my grandma like my grandpa
And they lay this body down
Don't cry for me
Church-don't cry for me
