Songwriter: Traditional

[Bruce Springsteen]
We are all traveling in the footsteps
Of those that'd come before
And we'll all be reunited
On that new and sunlit shore

[Bruce Springsteen]
When the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
And when the sun refuses to shine
When the sun refuses to shine
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be there on that morning
When the saints go marching in

[Patti Scialfa]
When the trumpet sounds its call
When the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, how I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds its call

[Patti Scialfa]
When the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
Oh, when the saints go marching in

[Bruce Springsteen]
Now some say, some say this world of trouble
Is the only world we'll ever see
But I'm waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealed

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Lord, how I want to be there on that morning
When the new world is revealed

[Bruce Springsteen]
Oh, when the saints

[Marc Anthony Thompson and Scialfa]
When the saints

[Bruce Springsteen]
Go marching in

[Marc Anthony Thompson and Patti Scialfa]
Go marching in

[Bruce Springsteen]
When the saints

[Patti Scialfa]
When the saints

[Bruce Springsteen]
Go marching in

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
Go marching in

[Bruce Springsteen]
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

[Bruce Springsteen]
Lord, how I want

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
Lord, how I want

[Bruce Springsteen]
Be in that number

[Marc Anthony Thompson]
To be in that number

[Bruce Springsteen]
When the saints go marching in

[Outro]
Yes, Marc Anthony Thompson! Miss Patti Scialfa!

Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
