When I die
and they lay me to rest. Gonna go to the place that's 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
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 best.
Go to the
place that's best.
Norman Greenbaum
wrote this song back in the 1970's. He used his kazoo and other
folk instruments to compose the melody, never figuring that it
would be digitally reproduced as it is today. Perhaps that is
why the melody of "Spirit in the Sky" sounds so very
tinny here. I don't suppose that the original kazoo sound can
ever be properly reproduced. I do have to admit though that the
good people at Crescendo did their best.

The world is made up of two kinds of people--those who follow
NASCAR racing and those who wonder why anyone would. But even
the latter group had to grasp the racing world's shock Sunday,
when legendary driver Dale Earnhardt Sr. was killed in a crash
in the Daytona 500. The roguish North Carolina native, beloved
as a throwback to NASCAR's rough-and-ready Southern origins during
a period when it was evolving into a sport with mainstream appeal,
was also one of the best drivers ever--and, sadly, as the Tribune's
Ed Hinton noted, "the greatest American driver ever to die
racing."
This whole
Page is dedicated to one of our new Spirits in the sky, Dale Earnhardt,
Sr.

The song
you are listening to is, of course, "Spirit in the Sky"
composed by Norman Greenbaum. He also wrote the lyrics.
The square
box above is what is called a Recommend-it Box. I have put it
here so that it will be easier for you to forward this Page and
share it with others. Here is how it works. You click on the box
and another comes up on your screen. There will be a place for
you to put your screen name and address and the name and address
of everyone you want to email it to. There is even a place for
you to put a small personal message if you want to. Then all you
have to do is click on the SEND button and off it goes, a sort
of little gift of love from you. Don't worry if you find out later
that you have forgotten to send it to someone. You can go back
and use the box just as many times as you wish. It goes with the
Page so the people you send it to can use it also. Since this
system pays for itself with usage, I do hope you will consider
using it often.
