LYRICS:

There ain't no grave can hold my body down

There ain't no grave can hold my body down
When I hear that backhoe sound

I'll rise right out of the ground
Ain't no grave can hold my body down


I had just begun the eighth grade
When a deputy restrained me.
Sprawled in the manzanitas I was found.
Ain't no grave can hold my body down
.
There ain't no grave can hold my body down.

That corrupt sheriff's station
Kept their brother's crime from leaking.
And they warned my parents, "do not dig around."
But ain't no grave can hold my body down.

There ain't no grave can hold my body down.

Well, a couple decades later
Somewhere out in Big Bear
A boy escaped the deputy's compound
Crying, "ain't no grave can hold my body down
."
You could hear him all through the mountain towns.

For justice to come to me,
They now have to exhume me.
My parents say a blessing to the ground -
That ain't no grave can hold my body down
.
There ain't no grave...
