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
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)

Gonna 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

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
(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
