WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN

Live 19 Nov 2006 version



[Spoken intro:] This is a song that sort of explains that whole project.

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
Thompson and Scialfa:When the saints
Bruce Springsteen:Go marching in
Thompson and 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

[Spoken outro:] Yes, Marc Anthony Thompson! Miss Patti Scialfa!

Live In Dublin

At the end of the Seeger Sessions Tour, the three-night stand at Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland, (17-18-19 Nov 2006) was filmed with nine High Definition cameras. A selection of 23 songs from these three nights was officially released on 05 Jun 2007 on the Live In Dublin album and home video, credited to "Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band". "Seeger" was dropped from the band's name for this release, apparently due to the fact that many of the songs are Springsteen originals from his earlier records, or covers that are not related to Pete Seeger.

Live In Dublin is available in four formats: 2-CD set, standard DVD, 2-CD/1-DVD combo set, and Blu-ray disc.
