"When the Saints Go Marching In"

Two Original Rappers

Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye

I am indebted to a U.S. Marine veteran for this inspiration.   These performers were two of my favorite entertainers.   Today's rappers are lucky to have these two as their idols.   I miss them.


Louis Daniel Armstrong
August 4, 1901 to July 6, 1971


Danny Kaye
(born David Daniel Kaminsky)
January 18, 1913 – March 3, 1987

"When the Saints Go Marching In"

Lyrics: Luther G. Presley
Music: Virgil O. Stamps
1937
(Original Standard Version)
We are trav'ling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before,
And we'll all be reunited,
On a new and sunlit shore,
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
And when the sun refuse to shine
And when the sun refuse to shine
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the sun refuse to shine
And when the moon turns red with blood
And when the moon turns red with blood
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the moon turns red with blood
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds its call
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.
Oh When the new world is revealed
Oh When the new world is revealed
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the new world is revealed
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
