Oh de oh, giddyup
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
The angels won't leave me behind

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

(Giddyup)

Over the prairie
The pall bearers carry & 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 blows
Victory shall be mine
When the horses get ready to go
The angels won't leave me behind

Chorus

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray my soul you keep
If I die before I wake
I pray my soul you take
Cause I gotta be ready, when Jesus comes
When the chariot comes
Gonna be, got to be ready when the chariot comes
Said I'm gonna be, got to be ready when the chariot comes

Fade out:
Got to be ready, when the chariot comes
