Lyrics
Swing my soul to heaven
On my dying day
Send me back home with a slide trombone
let those trumpets play
Don't you think of cryin'
When we say goodbye
I'll be doin' OK jumpin' night and day at the Savoy in the sky.
Chick'll be there, beatin' it out
Benny and Basie will make 'em all shout
Duke and his boys'll make a heavenly noise
And then Gabriel and Pops'll start to blowin' their tops.
Sing no funeral dirges
When those church bells toll
Send me to that golden shore with four on the floor
Brother swing my soul.
