Ain’t No Grave The Handsome Family

There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm going to get up out of the ground
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down

Well down yonder, Gabriel
Put your foot on the land and sea
But, Gabriel, don't you blow your trumpet
Until you hear from me

Well look away over yonder
See people dressed in white
I know it was God's people
I seen they're doing right

Well look away over the river
And what do you think I see?
I seen a band of angels
Coming after me

Cause there ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm going to get up out of the ground
There ain't no grave
Gonna hold my body down
