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 (When the chariot, when the chariot comes) I'm gonna be, got to be ready When the chariot comes (Giddyup) 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 I'm gonna be, got to be ready When the chariot comes (When the chariot, when the chariot comes) I'm gonna be, got to be ready When the chariot comes 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
