Someday my time to die will come.
When that will be, I don't know
I only know that when I have to go.
Oh yeah, when I go-- I wanna go
Just let me go-- Lord, when I go
I want to go, Lord, let me go
Let me go like Elijah, when I go
I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize
Just let me go -- I wanna go
When my time comes for me to go
I wanna go like Elijah when I go
I don't want no tombstone above my head
And I don't want no pinebox for my bed
And I don't want anyone to say I'm dead.
Oh no, when I go-- I wanna go
Just let me go-- Lord, when I go
I want to go, Lord, let me go
Let me go like Elijah, when I go
I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize
Just let me go -- I wanna go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah, when I go
I don't want know one cryin' or feelin' sad
Or standin' in the rain without their hat
I wanna go up happy-- imagine that
Oh yeah, 'cause when I go-- just let me go
I wanna go, and when I go
Just let me go-- Lord, when I go
I want to go like Elijah, when I go
I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize
Just let me go -- I wanna go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah, when I go
I want to go like Elijah when I go
Just let me go like Elijah, when I go
