about

I recorded my version of this traditional song in the graveyard of the church at the abandoned village of Wolfhampcote

lyrics

Ain't no grave
Can hold my body down
Ain't no grave
Can hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound
I'm gonna rise right out of the ground

Ain't no grave...

Well, look way down the river
And what do you think I see
I see a band of angels
And they're coming after me

Ain't no grave...

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

Ain't no grave...

Well meet me, Jesus, meet me
Meet me in the middle of the air
And if these wings don't fail me,
I will meet you anywhere

Ain't no grave...
Meet me, Mother and Father,
Meet me down the river road
And Mama, you know I'll be there
When I check in my load

Ain't no grave...
