The day I leave for heaven 
 My friends will be so sad 
 Their faces gonna hang real long and low 
 Then I'll look up and see them 
 I'll say it ain't so bad 
 If you play me out with music, I can go 
    Play me out (play me out) 
 Play me out (play me out) 
 With a tambourine, a trumpet, and I'll come 
 Clap your hands (clap your hands) 
 Sing and shout (sing and shout) 
 Keep it going till the angels know 
 I'm coming right on home   
 The day I'm bound for glory 
 You're gonna see me smile 
 'Cause pretty soon I'll knock on Gabriel's door 
 So sing me that sweet story 
 And beat the drum awhile 
 And play me out until I reach that shore   
 Play me out (play me out) 
 Play me out (play me out) 
 With a tambourine, a trumpet, and I'll come 
 Clap your hands (clap your hands) 
 Sing and shout (sing and shout) 
 Keep it going till the angels know 
 I'm coming right on home   
 Play me out, play me out 
 With a tambourine, a trumpet, and I'll come 
 Clap your hands, sing and shout 
 Keep it going so the angels know 
 I'm coming right on home   
 Play me out (play me out) 
 Play me out (play me out) 
 With a tambourine, a trumpet, and I'll come 
 Clap your hands (clap your hands) 
 Sing and shout (sing and shout) 
 Keep it going so the angels know 
 I'm coming right on home   
 Play me out (play me out) 
 Play me out (play me out) 
 With a tambourine, a trumpet, and I'll come 
 Clap your hands (clap your hands) 
 Sing and shout (sing and shout) 
 Keep it going so the angels know 
 I'm coming right on home   
 Play me out (play me out) 
 Play me out (play me out) 
 With a tambourine, a trumpet, and I'll come
