See That My Grave Is Kept Clean
Mavis Staples

[Hook]

Gone away don't you wanna go

Gone away don't you wanna go

Gone away, don't you wanna go

Gone to my home on the other shore

There's just one kind favor I ask of you

There is one kind favor I'll ask of you

One kind favor I'll ask of you

See that my grave is kept clean


[Verse 1]

Dig my grave with a silver spade

Won't you dig my grave with a silver spade

Dig my grave with a silver spade

Ease me down with a golden chain


[Verse 2]


Did you ever hear a church bell tone?

Did you ever hear those church bells tone?

Have you ever heard a church bells tone?

Then you know I'm dead and gone


[Verse 3]

They say those streets are paved with gold

Well they say those streets are paved with gold

Well they say those streets are paved with gold

Lord have mercy on my soul

Oh Lord have mercy on my soul

Lord have mercy on my soul

Oh Lord have mercy on my soul
