Standard (EADGBE)
I am just a lonesome traveler,
Through this big, wide world of sin;
Want to join that grand procession,
When the saints go marching in.
Oh, when the saints
go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in;
Lord, I want to be in that number,
When the saints go marching in.
All my folks have gone before me,
All my friends and all my kin;
But I ll meet with them up yonder,
When the saints go marching in.
Oh, when the saints
go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in;
Lord, I want to be in that number,
When the saints go marching in.
Come and join me in my journey,
Cause it s time that we begin;
And we ll be there for that judgment,
When the saints go marching in.
Oh, when the saints
go marching in,
Oh, when the saints go marching in;
Lord, I want to be in that number,
When the saints go marching in.
