Original text and translations

English text

1.You may bury me in the East,
you may bury me in the West,
but I'll hear the trumpet sound in that morning.
In that morning, my Lord,
how I long to go
for to hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

2.In that dreadful judgment day
I'll take wings and fly away,
and I'll hear the trumpet sound in that morning.

3.Good old Christians in that day
will take wings and fly away
for to hear the trumpet sound in that morning.
