1. I am just a lonesome traveller, Through this big wide world of sin; Want to join that grand procession, When the saint go marchin´in. |: Oh when the saint go marchin´in, :| Lord I want to be in that number When the saint go marchin´in. 2. All my folks have gone before me, All my friends and all my kin; But I'll meet with them up yonder, When the saint go marchin´in. |: Oh when the saint go marchin´in, :| I will meet them all up in heaven, When the saint go marchin´in. 3. Come and join me in my journey, 'cause it's time that we begin; And we'll be there for that judgement, When the saint go marchin´in. |: Oh when the saint go marchin´in, :| We will be in line for that judgement, When the saint go marchin´in. |
|: And when the stars begin to shine :| Then Lord let me be in that number And when the stars begin to shine |: When Gabriel blows in his horn :| Then Lord let me be in that number When Gabriel blows in his horn |: And when the sun refuse to shine :| Then Lord let me be in that number When the sun refuse to shine |: And when the moon has turned the blood :| Then Lord let me be in that number When the moon has turned the blood |: And when they crown him King of Kings :| Then Lord let me be in that number When they crown him King of Kings |: And when they gather round the throne :| Then Lord let me be in that number When they gather round the throne |: And on that halleluja day :| Then Lord let me be in that number On that halleluja day |: And while the happy ages roll :| Then Lord let me be in that number While the happy ages roll |
