O where shall I be when the first trumpet

1 O where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
O where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
O where shall I be when it sounds?
I'll be lying in my grave when the first trumpet sounds,
I'll be lying in my grave when it sounds so loud,
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
I'll be lying in my grave when it sounds.

2 Mourner, where will you be when the first trumpet sounds?
Mourner, where will you be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
O where will you be when it sounds?

Chorus:
You'll be lying in my grave when the first trumpet sounds,
You'll be lying in my grave when it sounds so loud,
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
You'll be lying in my grave when it sounds.

3 Sinner, where will you be when the first trumpet sounds?
Sinner, where will you be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
O where will you be when it sounds? [Chorus]

4 Gambler, where will you be when the first trumpet sounds?
Gambler, where will you be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
O where will you be when it sounds? [Chorus]

5 Brother, where will you be when the first trumpet sounds?
Brother, where will you be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
O where will you be when it sounds? [Chorus]
