Oh, when the saints go marchin' in
Oh, when the saints go marchin' in
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in

Oh, on that day they called my name
I took a breath and then I prayed
Oh, I wanna sing with the angels
When the saints do their parade

I talked to God 'bout my heart
The devil plays some mean guitar
Oh, I would love to dance up in Heaven
When the saints go play their part

The sky went dark, I fell apart
Fell to my knees, I cried so hard
And then I said goodbye to my children
Hopin' they'd carry me far

Oh, when the saints go marchin' in
Oh, when the saints go marchin' in
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in
