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

Oh, when the stars fall from the sky
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in
Oh, when the moon turns red with blood
Oh, when the moon turns red with blood
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh Lord I, want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in

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