When the Saints Go Marching In
When the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
The toils and snares of independence ring
When the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
When they’re carried to their graves
The price of independence stings
When the saints go marching in
When the spring rolls forth new growth
When the spring rolls forth new growth
Daffodils and daisies grow
When the spring rolls forth new growth
When the widows and children sing
When the widows and children sing
The hearts of man can sorrow bring
When the weak in heart do sing!
O when the caskets are lined row by row
When the caskets are lined in rows
Counting the cost of freedom grows
When the caskets are lined in rows
