GWINE TO RIDE UP IN THE CHARIOT

Gwine to ride up in the chariot,
Sooner in the morning.
Ride up in the chariot,
Sooner in the morning.
Ride up in the chariot,
Sooner in the morning,
And I hope I'll join the band.

Cho: O Lord, have mercy on me, (3 times)
And I hope I'll join the band.

Gwine to meet my brother there,
Sooner, etc.

Gwine to chatter with the angels,
Sooner etc.

Gwine to meet my massa Jesus,
Sooner etc.

Gwine to walk and talk with Jesus,
Sooner etc.
