See That My Grave Is Kept Clean

Mavis Staples, Son Little

[Chorus]
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'll 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

[Break]
Mm, oh
Oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm

[Verse 2]
Did you ever hear a church bell tone? (Hear a church bell tone)
Did you ever hear those church bells tone? (Have you ever heard?)
Have you ever heard a church bell's tone?
Then you know I'm dead and gone

[Verse 3]
They say those streets are paved with gold (Streets are paved with gold)
Well, they say those streets are paved with gold (Don't you know those streets)
Well, they say the streets, they're paved with gold

[Outro]
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
