Lyrics
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.
Oh, when the drums begin to bang
Oh, when the drums begin to bang
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in.
Oh, when the stars fall from the sky
Oh, when the stars fall from the sky
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in.
Oh, when the sun refuse to shine
Oh, when the sun refuse to shine
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in.Demo Videos
About This Song
When the Saints Go Marching In is a New Orleans jazz funeral standard that became a gospel favorite and occasional bluegrass jam tune. While it has deep roots in African American spiritual tradition, it's more commonly heard in Dixieland settings than bluegrass circles - don't be surprised if it gets a lukewarm response at a jam.
