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
