When The Saints Come Marching Home by Bo Weavil Jackson Lyrics

[Intro]
Now I wants all you church members to get right! I want you all to be just like the saints, when you all come marchin' home

[Verse 1]
Oh, when the saints go marchin' home
Oh, when the saints go marchin' home
Good Lord, I want to be in that number
Oh, when the saints go marchin' home

[Verse 2]
I had a lovin' mother
Now she's gone on before
Ah, and I promised the Lord that I would meet her
That's when the saints go marchin' home

[Verse 3]
And when the sun refuse to shine
And when the sun refuse to shine
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
Oh, when the sun refuse to shine
[Verse 4]
And when the moon drips away in blood
And when the moon drips away in blood
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
When the moon drips away in blood

[Verse 5]
I had a lovin' father
Now he's gone on before
A-and I promised the Lord that I would meet him
That's when the saints go marchin' home

[Verse 1]
And when the saints go marchin' home
When the saints go marchin' home
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' home

[Verse 6]
Good Lord, I had a lovin' brother
And now he's gone on before
Ah, and I promised the Lord that I would meet him
That's when the saints go marchin' home

[Verse 1]
And when the saints go marchin' home
When the saints go marchin' home
Good Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' home
[Verse 7]
Gonna meet my mother at the judgement bar
Gonna meet my mother at the judgement bar
Because I'm gonna be all in that number
That's when the saints go marchin' home
