Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In the Sky

Released in 1969

---LYRICS---
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

We put this song for my daughter's funeral when she passed back in 2000... Thanks to God and this singer that made it! We love you "BONNIE" and we will always have you in our hearts :) God Bless

@slicknipper the only way CDs can come close to vintage vinyl is to have one track per CD with loss-less bit rate

@asamb I seriously doubt it. The second they hear the word "Jesus," they spray their shorts and scream "Hallelujah!" and that's it.

@slicknipper Thats only because its got a lot of static.

@donutkill13202 The Lord works in Mysterious ways my friend.

@slicknipper only thing better is the crackle of poor T.V. reception.

it is not a religious song, it was sarcastic
