When the Saints Go Marching In Lyrics


We are traveling 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)Oh when the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching inAnd when the sun refuse (begins) to shine
And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching inWhen the moon turns red with blood
When the moon turns red with blood
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching inOn that hallelujah day
On that hallelujah day
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching inOh when the trumpet sounds the call
Oh when the trumpet sounds the call
Oh lord I want to be in that number

When the saints go marching inSome say this world of trouble
Is the only one we need
But I'm waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealedWhen the revelation (revolution) comes
When the revelation (revolution) comes
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching inWhen the rich go out and work
When the rich go out and work
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching inWhen the air is pure and clean
When the air is pure and clean
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching inWhen we all have food to eat
When we all have food to eat
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching inWhen our leaders learn to cry
When our leaders learn to cry
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Louis Armstrong was born in New Orleans around 1900. As a youth was incarcerated at a waif's home for firing a pistol on New Year's Day. Here he learned to play the cornet. Played in New Orleans bands until 1923 when his idol, King Joe Oliver asked him to join his Chicago-based Original Creole Jazz Band. Two years later he was featured with Fletcher Henderson's New York Orchestra. In 1926 returned to Chicago where he recorded as the Hot Five and Hot Seven, producing classic jazz such as West End Blues, Potato Head Blues, Cornet Chop Suey, Heebie Jeebies and Tight Like That.
