Lyrics When the Saints Come Marching Home - Bo Weavil Jackson

Now I wants all you church members to get right!
I want you all to be just like the Saints
When you all come marching home

When the saints go marching home
Oh, when the saints go marching home
Good Lord, I wants to be in that number
Oh, when the saints go marching home

I had a loving mother
Now she's gone on before
And I promised the Lord that I would meet her
That's when the saints go marching home

And when the sun refuse to shine
And when the sun refuse to shine
Oh Lord, I wants to be in that number
Oh, when the sun refuse to shine

And when the moon drips away in blood
And when the moon drips away in blood
Oh Lord, I wants to be in that number
When the moon drips away in blood

I had a loving father
Now he's gone on before
And I promised the Lord that I would meet him
That's when the saints go marching home

And when the saints go marching home
When the saints go marching home
Lord, I wants to be in that number
When the saints go marching home

Good Lord, I had a loving brother
Now he's gone on before
And I promised the Lord that I would meet him
That's when the saints go marching home

And when the saints go marching home
When the saints go marching home
Good Lord, I wants to be in that number
When the saints go marching home

Gonna meet my mother at the judgement bar
Gonna meet my mother at the judgement bar
'Cause I'm gonna be all in that number
That's when the saints go marching home
