When I Go Songtext
von Finster

I hope there′s a good song on when I die
Something with a melody that I can softly sigh
A minuet, a rhapsody, or a sweet lullaby
I hope there's a good song on when I die

I hope there′s a good song on when I pass
Through the gates of heaven with a big brass band
Trumpets, horns, and tubas, I'll go out with a blast
I hope there's a good song on when I pass

When my friend the reaper in the evening comes to take me home
I′ll walk beside him and sing all the songs I got to know
That I had learned while on this earth and he is sure to grin
My friend the reaper will harmonize while I sing


I hope there′s a good song on when I go
A tune that makes me want to dance the rumba or tango
Grab my hand, let's do a dance before I start to slow
I hope there′s a good song on when I go

When my friend the reaper in the evening comes to take me home
I'll walk beside him and sing all the songs I got to know
That I had learned while on this earth and he is sure to grin
My friend the reaper will harmonize while I sing

I hope there′s a good song on when I go
Let's finish off this inning and head off to The Show
Organ, gospel, fireworks, let′s fly DiMaggio
I hope there's a good song on when I go
I hope there's a good song on when I go
I hope there′s a good song on when I go
