See That My Grave Is Kept Clean

MAVIS STAPLES · Your Good Fortune 2015 · Track 03 of 04

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

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

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

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
