Bury My Body

You can bury my body you can bury my body

You can bury my body deep down in the ground

But the dust and the bone won't make a sound

Yeah, you can bury my body

Well, I won't grow weary no more

Ain't afraid of death knockin' on my door

Sweet salvation in the by-and-by

No more trouble, gonna leave it behind

So, you can bury my body

You can bury my body

You can bury my body deep down in the ground

But the dust and the bone won't make a sound

'Cause I'll be up in glory

I'll be shoutin' the story

That they buried my body deep

Down in the ground

But the weight of this world

Couldn't hold me down

But you can bury my body

You can bury my body

The devil done missed his chance

To steal my soul

He crooked his crooked finger

And I said, Hell, No

Took the hand of Jesus

Pulled me outta the grave

Death was cheated and my soul was saved

You can bury my body you can bury my body

You can bury my body deep down in the ground

But the dust and the bone won't make a sound

Cause I'll be up in glory

I'll be shoutin' the story

That they buried my body deep

Down in the ground

But the weight of this world

Couldn't hold me down

Yeah, you can bury my body
