Spirit In The Sky -- Norman Greenbaum

When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that's the best When I lay me down to die Goin' up to the spirit in the sky Goin' up to the spirit in the sky That's where I'm gonna go when I die When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky Gonna recommend you To the spirit in the sky That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner I never sinned I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die When I die and they lay me to rest I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best               (sing365)
