Lyrics
When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that's the best When they lay me down to die Going up to the spirit in the sky

Going up to the spirit in the sky (Spirit in the sky) That's where I'm gonna go when I die (When I die) When I die and they lay me to rest I'm 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 (Spirit in the sky)

Oh he'll recommend you To the spirit in the sky That's where you're gonna go when you die (When you die) When you die, and they lay you to rest You're gonna go to the place that's the best

Whoa, set me up with the spirit in the sky (Spirit in the sky) That's where I'm gonna go when I die (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
