When the Saints Go Marching In Songtext
von Louis Prima

I: We are trav′ling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
But we′ll all be reunited (But if we stand reunited)
On a new and sunlit shore (Then a new world is in store)

V: O 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 refuse (begins) to shine
And when the sun refuse (begins) 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

B: 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

(As Intro)

V: When the revelation (revolution) comes
When the revelation (revolution) 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
