Lay my body down on Mercy Street
Or deep beneath the darkest seas
Lay my body six feet under down in Old

Noarlunga
Right beneath the ghost gum trees


Doesn't matter where
You won't find me there


No grave
Gonna hold my spirit down
Ain't no grave

Hold my spirit down
Lord knows they'll never keep me in the ground
Ain't no grave

Hold my spirit down

It's alright mama, now don't be sad

It's alright, don't cry for me
They can lock my flesh and bones up until kingdom come
But my spirit will be free


It doesn't matter where
You won't find me there

It's a dead end search
It's a nowhere thread
Looking for the living down among the dead

No devil in hell
No angel above
Can separate the saints from the love of God
