Can’t No Grave Hold My Body Down Lyrics by Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Gospel Train [1956]

0

Can't no grave hold my body down
Can't no grave hold my body down
Y'know when the [?] trumpet sound, I'm gonna get up out of the ground
Can't no grave hold my body down
It was early one morning, just about the break of day
An angel came from glory and rolled the storm away
But when the women came along, and they found at the scene he was gone
You know can't no grave hold my body down
I want you to [?] Gabriel
Stand on the land and the sea
I want you to blow that trumpet Gabriel
Until you get an answer from me
I want you to blow blow blow blow blow
Blow blow blow blow blow
Can't no grave hold my body down, no no no
Can't no grave, you know, hold my body down, I'm gonna rise one morning
Can't no grave hold my body down, woah yes
When that [?] trumpet, don't you know I'm gonna get up, get up off the ground
Can't no grave hold my body down
Can't no grave hold my body down
Well well well, can't no grave hold my body down
Can't no grave hold my body down
Can't no grave hold my body down
