Lyric When The Chariot Comes
Hey ho, hey ho [repeat throughout song]
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
[1] - 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
[Repeat 1]
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
[Repeat until fade]
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
[1] - 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
[Repeat 1]
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
[Repeat until fade]
