Schwa Lyrics

When the Saints Come Marching In

Lyricist: Louis Armstrong
Vocalist: Ed McGee

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 in 

And 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 in 

When 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 in 

On that hallelujah day 
On that hallelujah day 
Oh Lord I want to be in that number 
When the Saints go marching in 

Oh 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 in 

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 

When the revelation (revolution) comes 
When the revelation (revolution) comes 
Oh 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 
Oh 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 
Oh 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 
Oh 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 
Oh Lord I want to be in that number 
When the Saints go marching in
