Lyrics:

Oh when the Saints go marching in, When the Saints go marching in
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

And when the sun refuses to shine, And when the sun refuses to shine
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

When the moon turns red with blood, When the moon turns red with blood
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

On that hallelujah day, On that hallelujah day
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

O when the trumpet sounds the call, O when the trumpet sounds the call
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

Some say this world of trouble, Is the only one we need
But I'm waiting for that morning, When the new world is revealed

When the revelation comes, When the revelation comes
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

When the rich go out and work, When the rich go out and work
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

When the air is pure and clean, When the air is pure and clean
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

When we all have food to eat, When we all have food to eat
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in

When our leaders learn to cry, When our leaders learn to cry
O Lord, I want to be in that number, When the Saints go marching in
