When it's my time to go
I'll be singin' hi-de-ho
And if I'm truly glory bound
I'll be found in swingtown
If I saw Count and Cab
And met the Duke Man that'd be fad
And when my time rolls around
Just lay me down in swingtown
And let the heavens swing
With all their melodies
Put their names upon a big marquis
And when they need someone
To sing a harmony
If I'm there please let 'em call on me
If I walked up to those pearly gates
And met Bob Wills that'd be great
Tell Ole Satchmo to come around
We'll all get down in swingtown
When it's my time to go
I'll be singin' hi-de-ho
And if I'm truly glory bound
I'll be found in swingtown
