when the chariot comes

hey ho

hey ho

oh

oh

gidyup

all of these flowers

for this friend of ours

it's such a shame

all of these people

all of them equally feel the same

there's silence and weeping

looks like he's sleeping

the children say

they say he was ready

i hope he was ready

is the prayer i'm praying

when gabriel begins to blow

victory shall be mine

when the horses get ready to go

angels won't leave me behind

- i'm gonna be

got to be ready

when the chariot comes

i'm gonna be

got to be ready

when the chariot comes

over the prairie

the pallbearers carry and lay him to rest

satan's a cheater

christ is the teacher

and life's the test

oh lord

take me higher

never liked fire

i can't stay here

i gotta get ready

gotta get ready

time has drawn near

when gabriel begins to blow

victory shall be mine

when the horses get ready to go

the angels won't leave me behind

as i lay me down to sleep

i pray my soul you keep

if i die before i wake

i pray my soul you'll take

'cause i gotta be

gotta be ready

when jesus comes

when that chariot comes

got to be

got to be ready

when the chariot comes

said i've got to be

got to be ready

when the chariot comes
