[Verse 1]
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
Goin` up to the spirit in the sky

[Chorus]
Goin` 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

[Verse 2]
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)

[Chorus]
Woah, 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

[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Woah, 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
