Lyrics
We are travelin' in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
And we'll all be reunited
On a new and sunlit shore
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
And when the sun refuse to shine
And when the sun refuse to shine
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
When the sun refuse to shine
Oh, when the trumpet sounds the call
Oh, when the trumpet sounds the call
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds the call
Some say this world of trouble
Is the only one we need
But I'm waiting for that mornin'
When the new world is revealed
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
When the new world is revealed
Yes, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
