I am just a weary pilgrim,
Through this big, wide world of sin;
Want to join that grand procession,
When the saints go marching in.

Refrain:

Oh, when the saints go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in;
Lord, I want to be in that number,
When the saints go marching in.

All my folks have gone before me,
All my friends and all my kin;
But I'll meet with them up yonder,
When the saints go marching in.

Come and join me in my journey,
'Cause it's time that we begin;
And we'll be there for that judgment,
When the saints go marching in.

We are trav'ling 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
Lord how 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
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the sun begins to shine

Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds its call

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.
