Someday my time to die will come. When that will be, I do not know I only know that when I have to go. Yeah, when I go-- I wanna go Just let me go-- Lord, when I go I want to go like Elijah when I go I want to rise right up to the sky And ride white roses with fiery eyes Lord for my sins I apologize Just let me go-- Lord when I go When my time comes for me to go Just let me 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. I don't want know one cryin' Or feelin' sad Or standin' in the rain without their hat I wanna go happy-- Imagine that Yeah, when I go-- I wanna go
Just let me go-- Lord, when I go I want to go like Elijah when I go I want to rise right up to the sky And ride white roses with fiery eyes Lord for my sins I apologize Just let me go-- Lord when I go When my time comes for me to go Just let me go like Elijah when I go
