[Verse 1] 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

[Chorus] 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 right out of the ground
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

[Verse 2] My wasted years, no not one will return
My wasted days, no not one will return
My wasted hours, one by one I burned
And I hear those shovels a-piling on top of me

[Chorus] 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 right out of the ground
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

[Bridge] Sing oh my Lord, if a blind eye can see
Sing oh my God, if a slave can be set free
Sing oh my Jesus, if it has no hold on thee
Take my hand, come and wake me from my sleep

[Chorus] 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 right out of the ground
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down

[Outro] Roll away that stone, roll away that stone
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
Roll away that stone, roll away that stone
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
