I found this at the following site:

When the Saints Go Marching In

1.I am just a lonesome traveller,
Through this big wide world of sin;
Want to join in 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.

2. All my folks have gone before me,
All my friends and my kin;
But I'll meet them up yonder,
When the saints go marching in.

Oh when the saints, go marching in,
Oh when the saints go marching in,
I will meet them all up in heaven,
When the saints go marching in.

3. Come and join me in my journey,
'Cause it's time that we begin;
And we'll be there for that judgement,
When the saints go marching in.

Oh when the saints, go marching in,
Oh when the saints go marching in,
We will be in line for that judgement,
When the saints go marching in.

Other choruses are as follows:

And when the stars begin to shine,
And when the stars begin to shine,
then Lord, let me be in that number,
When the stars begin to shine

When Gabriel blows in his horn
When Gabriel blows in his horn,
Oh Lord I want to be in that number,
When Gabriel blows in his horn.

And when the sun refuse to shine
And when the sun refuse to shine,
Oh Lord I want to be in that number,
When the sun refuse to shine.

And when the moon has turned to blood,
And when the moon has turned to blood,
Oh Lord I want to be in that number,
When the moon has turned to blood.

And when they gather round the throne,
And when they gather round the throne,
Oh Lord I want to be in that number,
When they gather round the throne.

And on that Halleluja Day
And on that Halleluja Day
Oh Lord I want to be in that number,
On that Halleluja Day.
