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]
