Underground Folk Rebel Doc Burkhardt - Ain't No Grave Lyrics

O' Baby I'm coming home
'Cause I've been long gone
Been out on the road so long
Nobody even noticed I was gone
Home is where your people lie
Lined up in holes in the ground
But baby when I die
I don't want to never be found

Ain't no Grave
Ain't no Grave

When I decide to leave
There wont be a word
No grave to hold me down
No grave to hold me down
Even if there is a rumbling
And all the buildings start to shake
I am the river
I am the rolling wake

Ain't no Grave
Ain't no Grave

I saw the light
Call me Bill Monroe
I am the power button on your phone
Or the switch on death row
I'll come into this city's arms
This city that keeps me cold
Darkness on the row of pines
White cross on the side of the road

Ain't no Grave
Ain't no Grave
